Someone raised the question of whether Xprint font files need to be removed, probably in 2002 as Roland said. I asked Roland about it and he replied they were under the same X11 licence as the other files. I accepted this and didn't pursue the question further. I can't find the discussion archived, it may have been a private correspondence with Roland. The guts of the argument were the same that Roland is presenting here. I hope his reply to you on Saturday has convinced you. Drew
