One must remember, however, that the licencing issue was the last straw that broke the camels back - there were alot more issues surrounding XFree86. For example, the 'exclusive' way in which the project was managed, the lack of transparency in regards to how the project bought in contributions.

In the end, with the move to Xorg, it provide a much needed boot up the ass, and has encouraged people to contribute to the project rather than with XFree86 with the same small core of developers.
