What I garnered from the changes was that you have to credit the X project if
you use their code, much as the BSD license says, so it's not much of a change
that I can tell and it shouldn't bother us much as we're not even distributing
X, we just make it easy to compile from their code, so we /should/ be safe,
unlike the binary distros.
