I have read the 1.1 license several times as well as the emails in the forum mailing list. Maybe it is my misunderstanding of the english language; but I really don't see any problems with the 1.1 license. What I understand is that "if" I acknowledge some other software/package/etc I must also acknowledge XFree86. Maybe the license clause 2 could be changed to remove/rework the "must" word, but end with the same meaning. > The licencing change has apparently been decided single handedly by > you, without consulting most contributors (for my part, I learnt about > the change from the press). > > I believe this to be a case of mis-governance.

People that are used to GPL/Linux will always have some problem with whatever is not GNU/GPL. I think this is stupid, but it is the human being...
