To save a little time:

"After a thorough re-examination of the XFree86(TM) license and
reviewing how it fits in with the Project's long-stated licensing
philosophy ("You can do what you like with the code except claim that
you wrote it."), The XFree86 Project, Inc. has made some changes to its
base license."

What prompted this re-examination?

Thanks,
Donnie
