Hi,

the same reasoning here as for patch 10, that these particular licenses
we should not change, I believe.

The files were introduced by:

commit 775002c6c0f841a034a286c756899e6a4371962b
Author: Ander Conselvan de Oliveira <ander.conselvan.de.oliveira at intel.com>

    Introduce libwayland-cursor, a cursor helper library
    
    The purpose of this library is to be the equivalent of libXcursor in
    the X world. This library is compatible with X cursor themes and loads
    them directly into an shm pool making it easy for the clients to get
    buffer for each cursor image.
    
    The code for handling the X cursor theme was taken from libXcursor. The
    files cursor/xcursor.[ch] are a stripped down version of that library
    containing only the interfaces necessary for implementing the wayland
    counterpart.


Thanks,
pq
