xf86-video-dummy license clarification

Hi,

Xorg’s dummy driver lacks a clear open source license statement[1]. Its
COPYING file simply states “Copyright 2002, SuSE Linux AG”, indicating
it is non-free software. Is that correct? I see Debian is distributing
the driver under the terms of the X11 license[2], so is Gentoo Linux[3].

Thanks,
Lars
