Yes. At Sun, while our general purpose X server in Solaris is
an open source build of Xorg, we ship it with the closed source
nvidia drivers, so need a license that allows combining with
closed sources. Other parts of Sun also have other products
that ship closed special purpose X servers based on the X.Org
sources (like the Sun Ray for Linux product, and I believe in
the Sun Global Desktop (formerly known as Tarantella)).
