X11 license is compatible with the GPL. This means X11-licensed softwares
can be used as a basis of GPL-ed softwares. However, softwares of GNU
Project will have to be assigned to FSF. (Note the difference between
merely GPL-ed softwares and GNU Project softwares.) This FSF's way is
to guard itself legally. Dual license will not help this situation.
OTOH, GPL-ed softwares cannot be included in XFree86 source tree, as
Juliusz said.
Thus, I think Juliusz's way (luit in X11 license) is reasonable.
