Note that the old licence is valid until 4.4.0RC2 , only 4.4.0RC3 has the new licence.
But, basically the XFree will contnue being Open Source and free, whats the difference? I cant underestand the problem yet.
from what i have been able to gather from the couple minutes i have looked at this, the new license seems to demand permission for any distribution and subdistribution. There seems to be a few otehr problems hinting but i need to read the license further. What a pain in the ass.
Read this morning on Slashdot that other distros are not going to support 4.4 due to this problem. I think Debian is backing out of 4.4 and going back to 4.3.
