To satisfy my own curiosity, looking at www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_X_window_managers which provides links to 45 window managers for which there are wiki pages, I looked at the licence for each and found that only xmonad, wmii, fluxbox, and blackbox are licenced under BSD or MIT license. Since I didn't look at the software itself, I don't know if any require GPL libraries. Just thought I'd FYI. I'm not making an argument either/any way. Doug.
