Then the xorg code will be rewritten in a platform-agnostic way with a more permissive license. Or do you believe you can write now some code that will work as-is with yet unwritten platform implementations? Since the code *will* need to be adapted then, the licensing can be reviewed at that time too. That's the point people tried to make, I think. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
