OK, I've read that article, but it offers nothing new, just a recounting
of facts as I already knew them.  In short, the facts don't speak for
themselves, or at least (by themselves) they don't lead to a conclusion
that there's anything wrong with x.org.  The xf86 1.1 license adds a
new type of condition that has not been used in open source licenses
before, and I see nothing wrong with them not wanting to be bound by
that condition.
