Craig,

I don't want an endless discussion, far from it.  People have put forth
that the central issue here for why XFree86 is no longer part of Fedora
Core is the license change and some conduct of the now-disbanded core
team.  If someone could just answer why the license is GPL incompatible
while the modified BSD license is not, that would be enough for me.

Thanks,
William
