X.Org does not (and I think cannot) use the GPLv3 license. The tarball
is published on the X.Org site althought not part of a katamari. I am
not the expert on this, so I don't have a definitive answer. The patch
was not reviewed, so it's hard to say if proper licensing advice was sought.

It looks like Canonical owns the right to the source code. Perhaps they
would agree to using the X.Org preferred license that you find at
http://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.6/doc/xorg-docs/License.html#id2521948.

This will fail when building from a tarball. Consider using the makefile
snippet from all other xorg modules. If you don't want to depend on
util-macros, just copy the command in the gtest makefile. It lookes like
a trivial task, but there are many pitfalls. A lot of effort and testing
went into this line of code.

There are two zero byte ChangeLog and Changelog file in git which will
just create more opportunities for failures.

I'd be happy to help with the configuration. If you are ok on depending
on util-macros, you will get a lot of things for free. If not, that's
fine too. We can always copy what we need.
