To quote Bryce Harrington from [1]:
"MIT has released software under several slightly different licenses,
including the old 'X11 License' or 'MIT License'. Some code under this
license was in fact included in X.org's Xserver in the past. However,
X.org now prefers the MIT Expat License as the standard (which,
confusingly, is also referred to as the 'MIT License'). See
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/COPYING
When Wayland started, it was Kristian Høgsberg's intent to license it
compatibly with X.org. "I wanted Wayland to be usable (license-wise)
whereever X was usable." But, the text of the older X11 License was
taken for Wayland, rather than X11's current standard. This patch
corrects this by swapping in the intended text."
libinput is a fork of weston and thus inherited the original license intent
and the license boilerplate itself.

This code was largely lifted from the X server in
bb25b2ad29 but didn't take the copyright messages that
applied to that code.
