Welcome to IWETHEY!

New We are talking past one another
I understand that there are developmental implications in the new licence. I agree that is a developmental issue.
I was wondering if the inclusion of the new licence and its new wording was mandated by the developers of XFree86 or if this was a result of the political shakedown that got rid of the "core group". At the time, I got the impression that they were just getting rid of noisy unessential people. In retrospect, could this have been a move to hijack the project?
In any event, it looks like the project is going to fork. Pity.
New Not a pity
Should have happened years ago.

For example, the XFree86 build process is not dissimilar to standing up in a hammock, and should have been dealt with a long time ago. It hasn't. A fork can only be good for everyone, once the initial pain is over.

And yes, I missed your point. Sorry about that.

I do agree that the recent organisational changes brought this current situation about, because they allowed a man (Dawes) to take charge who I think should not have been placed in that position.
