If you want to purchase the license yourself you can. :) I never said I
would give it registered. I can suggest that you purchase it because
its a good X server, none of the Xfree86's *accelerated* X servers
work, well good anyways. Matrox cards are supported the most 
and the support for them is great. AcceleratedX is really quick at writing
drivers for most cards as well, upon request.
