X.org is not really "forking" - it's simply that as has been done several
times in the past since XFree86 originally forked from X.org, X.org was
bringing the latest XFree86 changes back into the X.org tree.  This was
being done on a new public CVS tree on freedesktop.org that was pulling
over automatically from the XFree86 CVS.  The "fork" was simply that the
cron jobs doing so were stopped when the license changed until X.org has
a chance to decide whether or not code under the new license should be
incorporated.  I'm sure the XFree86 Board expected everyone using their
code to stop and take a look at the new license before pulling in code
using it - if nothing else, to understand what the new requirements were
and determine if they were meeting them or wanted to meet them.

Anyone who wants to know what X.org is doing can join the new open mailing
lists at http://www.x.org/XOrg_Foundation.html or view the new public CVS
at http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/xorg
