No worries. License changes apply only to code where "The XFree86 Project, Inc" is the copyright holder (and a subset of that, in fact). XFree86 contributors remain free to choose which license applies to their code, within classes of licenses that are listed in our LICENSE document <http://www.xfree86.org/current/LICENSE.html>. The original license is still acceptable for contributions. Please review the source patch at <http://www.xfree86.org/license-200401.diff.gz>, and notify us if there are any errors in edits for the new license.
