Binaries for a range of popular platforms are now available. The latest documentation for this release can be found at <http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/pre-4.4/>. Send any corrections, etc here. In particular, check the Release Notes, and send in details of new stuff that isn't mentioned there, and errors/omissions in the Credits section. If you have contributed to XFree86 4.4, make sure your name is listed! Also check the LICENSE document <http://www.xfree86.org/~dawes/pre-4.4/LICENSE.html>. There is a lot of FUD being circulated about the licensing, so check here for the facts. Also check out the FSF's Free Software definition and their list of licenses, as well as the OSI's Open Source Definition. There are links to these sites from our LICENSE document. In particular, follow up with the BSD licences (original and revised), the FreeType License (FTL), the SGI Free Software License (which applies to GLX and CID), and the Apache 1.1 licence. Don't rely on the FUD being circulated by people who can barely hide their prejudice. Go straight to the definitive sources on licensing issues, namely the FSF and the OSI, and come to your own conclusions.
