Oh I did, don't take my response as anything but throwing up the logical conclusion to that policy. I'm not in favour of that approach. > Such policy can only be set by the community of course, > and that requires discussion. Historically X core code which is (L)GPL has been rejected. That has always made sense as the effects are often bizarre like probably not being able to use the vnc driver and trident driver together even though they share an author. I don't believe X should change on that issue. The question is one of additional programs that come with X - that is what the Linux DRI kernel module really is. Currently almost everyone in the X world is using some GPL software with their X server, it just happens to be in a different tarball/rpm/dpkg/... > I also expect that as the releases become more modular, this situation > also becomes more modular and less of an issue in any case.
