This, unfortunately, leads to the unresolved problem of how to combine

The MIT license is very similar to BSD. I'm not familiar with the
differences, but both allow the code to be privatized.
IMHO, the most sane way to go with this is to choose the same license that
MESA/Xorg uses (X11/MIT license).

I also like the copyright notice for BSD and MIT licenses, so that
people get credit for their contributions.
Perhaps it would be best to avoid the XFree86 4.4 license... See above
