> I also met one of the two devs left, and had mail contact with the other, and both were quite nice; development went down though,

As I understood it, Keith Packard was doing maybe 90% of the dev work. As he was also one of the most (negatively) affected people by the politics - of which the licence change was a minor part - it's not a surprise that XFree86 development pretty much stopped when he left.

Cheers,
