Display managers without GNU licenses

[A. D. Sharpe Sr.]

Hello all. Does anyone know of a display manager that isn't licensed under any of the GNU licenses? It'd be really great to find one that's licensed as either BSD, MIT, Apache, or CDDL.

Here's what a quick search of fresh ports came up with: Display managers It's not complete though. Looks like xdm fits the bill, plus one other I have never heard of.

There is Ly (and some abandonware), but IDK if that would run on FreeBSD. IIRC the last time I saw that had a lot of linuxisms.

As Sevendogsbsd suggested, I use x11/xdm. However I thought that the TrueOS Display Manager would also likely fit the bill, and according to Freshports it probably does: x11/pcdm, I don't have any experience with it though.

It’s awful that so many new display managers have been written, but most of them were written for Linux usage & with GNU licenses.

There is Ly

I really like the Additional Information part of their Readme.

I wish to thank linux-pam, X11 and systemd developers for not providing anything close to a reference or documentation.
