[forum] Re: Announcement: Modification to the base XFree86(TM) license.

David,

Just to let you know that I disagree with this decision.

The original license is clear and simple.  It makes it simple for
people to use our code without having to consult any lawyers.

The new license might be confusing, and it contains an unpleasant
``advertising clause'' that might make it complicated to use our code.

How was the license change decided?  Where did the discussion (if any)
happen?  Who was consulted?
