Not that I recall; fd.o hosts several GPL/LGPL projects already. The
only restriction is that the X.org 'katamari' releases (the 7.x series)
should remain MIT licensed to allow people building GPL-incompatible
systems to continue to use these releases.

There isn't any reason we cannot host GPL licensed drivers in the X.org
git repository, bugzill and mailing lists though, if that would be
convenient for the synaptics developers.
