I disagree that this topic is moot on the Fink list.

Brendan, you, should first get your facts straight before jumping to conclusion or before believing what lenny or others tell you.
Apple's adoption of XFree86 is available in source. The Apple license (ASPL) is recognized as a true open source license by the OSI (http://opensource.org/). The GNU folks may view that differently, but then they view mostly anything which is not GPL as heretic <shrug>.
In fact, go to http://developer.apple.com/darwin/. You can get the complete source for it their, *and* Apple states that they work with the XonX team (the people that ported XFree86 to OS X) to integrate their changes into XFree86. I don't know how they could be more open source friendly (in realistic terms).
Fink offers you to choose between compiling XFree86+XDarwin.app yourself, installing a prebuilt binary of XFRee86 +XDarwin.app. In the past we offered the ability to install Tenon's X11 (and if they release it for 10.2, if possible we will allow this again). And nowadays we allow you to use Apple's XFree86+X11.app if you have it installed (mind you, we don't allow you to install Apple's X11, but if you have it installed, we allow you to hook it into Fink).
