New Xfree licences

G'day David

I'm writing to you on behalf of the Technology websites of The Age 
and the Sydney Morning Herald, two broadsheet newspapers published 
from the Australian cities of Melbourne and Sydney respectively.

I understand from postings on various websites that some issues have 
been raised about the new licence for Xfree 86.

As we have a large number of readers who are open source enthusiasts, 
I am putting together a little article on this and would appreciate 
some input from you about why this licence has caused some eyebrows 
at the Free Software Foundation to be raised.

I would appreciate if you could be as non-technical as possible in 
your statements.

Thanks,

Sam
