Under LGPL, Deimos libX11 has been released.

For binding library, LGPL is actually the same as GPL since it's 
linked statically.

Unlike LGPL for which you can create closed source apps if 
library is linked dynamically, the only way to use derelict 
binding with LGPL license is GPL compatible license for your 
application.
