Using my "sanitized XFree86 CVS" tree, I have prepared my own 000_stolen_from_HEAD_via_driver.diff, which stops at 2003-02-12, the day before the application of the XFree86 1.1 to the tree.
This lost 3 small commits:

Log message:
56. Via driver updates:
- Workaround for not properly detected memory allocation failure
of the drm module.
- In case of drm memory allocation failure, added a fallback to
linear allocation in the pixmap cache when XFREE86_44 is set.
- Increased the pixmap cache size to the hardware blitting limit
if XFREE86_44 is set.
- Restructuring and cleanups in via_accel.c (Removed unecessary
comments and moved ViaInitLinear to via_memory.c)
- Fixed some warnings about unresolved drm symbols.

59. Cleanup the via driver's primary DDC/EDID retrieval:
- Remove NoDDCValue entirely (also adapts the manpage now).
- Comment out ddc1 and ddc1Read, as this is broken.
- Replace ddc2Read with xf86DoEDID_DDC2.
- Replace manually setting ranges for xf86SetDDCproperties.

This leaves a few questions open:
A) What does David Dawes regard as "attribution to [him]"?[1] If the
responsibility for the CVS commit is attributed to him, as it appears
to be in several of the above, does he consider the XFree86 1.1
license to attach to those changes?
B) What is Marc La France's policy regarding the application of the
XFree86 1.1 license to modifications he makes to files that bear no
copyright notice by him or by the XFree86 Project, Inc.?
C) Does the XFree86 Project, Inc., consider patches submitted to their
Bugzilla system to have any applicable copyrights therein assigned to
them?
Is there someone who'd like to broach these questions with the XFree86
Project? My mails seem to go unanswered.
At any rate, for any of the above where we can get the licensing
straightened out, I'd be happly to apply the relevant patches. It may
be worth contacting Thomas Hellström and Luc Verhaegen to inquire as to
the provenance of their patches.
For the others, I am willing to write up a plain-English description as
I did for the AT ioctl() issue.
