Re: issues with X Window

["Leonard R. Kasday" <kasday acm org>]

It used to be a closed licence and there are may be pages hanging around
that still say that.  But I don't think it is anymore.  At

http://henge1.henge.com/~brian/ultralin.html

it says

quote
The UltraSonix source code has recently been released to the public with a
noncommercial license. This has allowed us to
begin the Linux port. 
unquote

Or is there a difference between "noncommercial" and "open source"
