That's not quite the point, David.
Of the many reasons for which I was happy to contribute my work to
XFree86 was that the old licence guaranteed that anyone could use my
code. It was okay for Debian or FreeBSD to grab a routine that I
wrote, as it was for Apple or Microsoft.
Unless I've missed a post, you still haven't explained what it is that
you're trying to achieve with the new licence. I would like to hear
you justify that the advantages of the new licence justify what I
perceive as a net loss in code availability.
