Subject: Re: upgrading GNU ncurses to GPLv3

    ncurses is MIT-licensed.
    It contains no GPL source.

Yes, ncurses is a special case.
Sorry to bother you unnecessarily.

(I think we should avoid the term "MIT license" for this sort of
license, since MIT uses many different licenses.  It is clearer to
call it the X11 license.)
