Looks like the issue revolves arounf the advertisement of Xfree86. OK, I may be naive, but could we suggest Xfree's owners that they can handle their own advertising without the X-oz licence: When Xfree starts, there's always 1 oe 2 seconds of a grey mesh. Why don't they place their advertising here. The advert could last one or 2 seconds or the time required for [xkw]dm to start. This way, they would have their advertising without changing the licenses or impacting Xfree developers. Cheers (I really hope not to start a flame war ...)
