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.
