Star X Marks the Spot: Looking back at X11 Developments of Past Year
Linked by Oscar Boykin on Wed 25th Feb 2004 08:59 UTC
X11, Window Managers For the past year, there has been a slow and steady stream of news events regarding XFree86, X11, or new X server implementations. To those not paying close attention (and even those who are), the meaning of some of these events may not be clear. In this brief article, I attempt to share my impression on what the changes mean for users of free software on the desktop. It appears that XFree86 is in some turmoil, and it may leave some to infer that free desktop systems will suffer.

Its not just the GPL compatibility.
Theo DeRant wasnt to hapy with the new license and he is no GPL proponent, Dawes response to everything at the moment is "you are full of shi#".
