Are you sure? AFAIK David applied the new license (or at least a similarly controversial one) to some files before it was publicly announced.
the old license applies to 4.3.99.902.
AFAIK X.org also imported 4.3.99.902 for their version (at least the release notes indicates that 4.3.99.902 was merged unconditionally, http://freedesktop.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/xc/RELNOTES?root=xorg), so if indeed some files would be covered under the new license even for this version then merging to that wouldn't help neither.
That's of course in no way, shape or form a legal advice ;-).
