My reading of the press release is that GLXPL-covered code is now
licensed under FreeB 2.0.  I've updated xserver and glproto to match.

In particular:

"Previous SGI contributions to the free and open source community are
now available under the new license. These contributions include the
SGI® OpenGL® Sample Implementation, the GLX™ API and other GLX
extensions."

"The new license", singular, clearly means FreeB 2.0.  All the GLXPL
code in xserver or glproto is clearly derived from the initial release
of the GLX API from:

http://www.sgi.com/products/software/opensource/glx/

There does not appear to be any GLXPL code in Mesa, or in any other X
module.
