And then create a KDE licence group, and a Gnome licence group, and so
on? Remember that there are only a few X licences once you ignore
copyright line differences, just as there are only a few KDE licences
once you ignore copyright line differences.
The other option is to submit patches for X and KDE and Gnome to use a
unified license. At least in the X case, it's not that the patches
arn't welcome, it's that the maintainers have things more important to
do than cleaning up after the mess upstream made of the licenses.
