The XFree86 Project, Inc. changed license of Xfree86 from 1.0 to 1.1
http://www.xfree86.org/legal/licenses
There are some problems with it. Developers of Linux distributions refuse to
include new xfree86 to their distributions.
For example Debian
http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/x-packagers/2004-February/000003.html or
RedHat http://freedesktop.org/pipermail/x-packagers/2004-February/000004.html
or Mandrake
