Re: [XFree86] Announcement: Modification to the base XFree86(TM) license.

Hi,

I'm also not satisfied by this license change. I fail to see what is
the real benefit of the project in the new formulation. 
Most of the users of XFree86 -based product already recognize and
appreciate the contribution of the project to the software community
in general. 

The new 3rd clause is very constraining for people distributings CDs
or other material that includes XFree86, and I'm not sure if the
project has the resources to make sure it's respected by all products
that include XFree86. 

For instance OpenBSD 3.5 is going to ship the code in the XFree86
repository as of now (without a couple of files that already use the
new wordings) in order to avoid the trouble that following the new
license would cause (the need to print it on the CD booklet). 

For now this new license has given more bad press to the project than
ever, and this is not something XFree86 needs.
