You explained the GPL, which I well understand, but not why someone
working on client software cares about the license of something on
the server side. GPL does not require clients to follow the licensing
conditions of servers they connect to.
Why should anyone care about software protection at all then?
The reason is because as I stated, the GPL requires you follow specific
guidelines in the use and publishing of the sources. This may or may not
be a reason for Xorg to use it or not, that is not up to me to decide.
I merely suggest Xorg consider their license useage closely.
As for debating ms/linux, it was only used as an example, no reason to
dwell on it.
