yes, i dloaded the x11.d from terra too, but when i searched for som X
functions included in a small X app written in C, i found out that some
are missing, namely, i couldnt find XOpenDisplay, and some more. And
terra is not yet usable for linux and X systems, at least thats what Ive
read. I wanted this to mess a bit with terra or something small on my
own. So all I just need is creating a simple window, ability to get
OpenGL work with it, input and messaging, nothing more. And about those
licences, i honestly dont know, im kinda new to this opensource/free
stuff :P
