License compatibility != OS compatibility, please don't conflate the two. X runs on more than just Linux, and source is distributed as an aggregate. If it's really that big of a deal, ask the author of the GPL code to allow you to add it to DRM under an X-friendly license. Yes, I think it's silly too. - ajax
