Thanks all for your suggestions and I really want to see more great materials about X Window come out. I learn from these great source so I want to help to make it better. The more I dig into X Window, the more fun I get. -Guibin <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 1, 2009 at 12:19 AM, Jim Gettys <<a href="mailto:jg@freedesktop.org">jg@freedesktop.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> FWIW: The standards spec in Scheifler and Gettys has been freely available from day one under the MIT license. The copyright of anything else in the volume Scheifler and Gettys (including the introduction, diagrams, TOC, and the wonderful index) is now owned by us: we were clever enough in the (already very generous) agreement with Digital Press to have the copyrights on the rest of the book return to us if the book went out of print. I can't speak for the agreements other books in the series, though I suspect they may be similar. Personally, I'd be very happy to license the rest of Scheifler and Gettys (the parts that were not in the X distribution) under a CC attribution share alike license; if someone wants to do something with the rest of that volume (and I have the troff sources for the rest of it someplace, btw), I'll bother to dig it up and check with Bob if that's ok with him. - Jim David Gerard wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="im"> If a corrected version of this can be released under a suitable license (e.g. the X11 licence), it'd be an excellent addition to the [[X.Org Server]] article in Wikipedia, and possibly [[X Window System protocols and architecture]]. - d. </div> _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list <a href="mailto:xorg@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</a> </blockquote> </blockquote></div> -- ZHOU GuiBin School of Electronic and Information Engineering, South China University of Technology GuangZhou, China, 510640 Email: <a href="mailto:scuteezgb@gmail.com">scuteezgb@gmail.com</a> <a href="mailto:guibin.zhou@intel.com">guibin.zhou@intel.com</a>(Internship) ------------------------------------ Stay hungry, Stay foolish!
