That happened a few years ago. XFree86 made a change to their license (essentially an advertising clause), and that coupled with the dissatisfaction with some core X developers in the working methods of XFree led to them departing. They took the last version of XFree (4.4) still licensed under the old license, and took over the X consortium's X.org web domain They also took over the original code base of X (version 11, release 6.6 at the time) This all happened just over two years ago, and it can all be read about on www.x.org I don't think any distro still uses XFree86 (but I haven't actively looked, so I could be wrong) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
