In short, the facts don't speak for themselves, or at least (by themselves) they don't lead to a conclusion that there's anything wrong with x.org. The xf86 1.1 license adds a new type of condition that has not been used in open source licenses before, and I see nothing wrong with them not wanting to be bound by that condition. -- Paul Vojta, [email protected]
