No worries.  License changes apply only to code where "The XFree86
Project, Inc" is the copyright holder (and a subset of that, in
fact).  XFree86 contributors remain free to choose which license
applies to their code, within classes of licenses that are listed
in our LICENSE document <http://www.xfree86.org/current/LICENSE.html>.
The original license is still acceptable for contributions.

Please review the source patch at
<http://www.xfree86.org/license-200401.diff.gz>, and notify us if
there are any errors in edits for the new license.
