David,

You keep ignoring one important objection to the licence change.

A lot of the XFree86 code has been contributed under the XFree86
licence by people who were acting under the assumption that their code
would remain under the old licence.

The licencing change has apparently been decided single handedly by
you, without consulting most contributors (for my part, I learnt about
the change from the press).

I believe this to be a case of mis-governance.  Until this question is
settled, it will be difficult for many contributors (including myself)
to trust the XFree86 governing body (i.e. you).
