fdiv_bug writes "This happened a day or two ago, but it slipped my mind to report it. Looks like Apple has released the source code to their X11 implementation for Mac OS X." Also check out more downloads at OpenDarwin.org.

  1. This didn't happen a few days ago... by eyez · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't know what the submitter has been smoking, but this did /NOT/ happen a few days ago.

    I remember downloading it a couple weeks ago. It's been available for download since they released their X11 betas.

  2. Re:does this include source for quartz-wm? by babbage · · Score: 4, Informative

    On Apple's X11 list, it has been stated that X11.app's QuartzWM is going to remain closed-source and proprietary. That's all their code and they're going to keep it to themselves, as is their right. On the other hand, the extensions made to the xfree86 codebase have been offered back to the community under the same licensing terms as the rest of that project.
