Yep, I must have been kidding myself to believe the XFree86 License web
page when it said "Refer to each source file for specific licence details"
or that it would continue under the "each file lists the license covering it"
policy that X and most other multi-license open source projects have always
used.

But then I suppose since I help people produce "copycat garbage", you would
say I have no place even looking at XFree86 anymore.

Now ALan, just because you sent the original message to devel does not mean
that you can keep this thread there.....and Tom, I thought I could count on you at least to remind him of his manners.
