X11: Where do we go from here?
X11: Where do we go from here?

We've seen comments from a lot of people about how to deal with this, but not much from the XFree86 people. On their Web page is just a comment that it is still Free (of course it is, but that was never the problem), and a broken link to a FAQ about it. How are they responding to this backlash?

X11: Where do we go from here?

Mainly by acting as if it doesn't exist. I e-mailed several XFree86 board members for this piece and received no response at all. I sometimes wonder if Dawes is deliberately trying to sabotage XFree86. The license change coupled with the extremely cryptic announcement regarding the dissolution of the XFree86 "core team" makes me wonder whether Dawes has any interest in XFree86 remaining a going concern.
