Investigation of the new XFree86 License. Branden Robinson
[8]inspected the new [9]license for XFree86 4.4 and higher. He
concluded that the de facto impact of the change to the XFree86
Project, Inc.'s own license is to render the XFree86 source
distribution GPL-incompatible in many aspects. Keith Packard
[10]asserted that he has a strong desire to make the released software
on freedesktop.org from that source completely [11]DFSG-free.
