Charles,

VIX is really TVX configured to look somewhat like VI.  Both were
posted by Bruce Wampler along with the source. He is also the author of
the programs in question.  The copyright notice you saw was probably in 
one of the libraries included with the DRI C compiler that comes with 
the developer kit.  I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.
