Quick question...

I'm reviewing the XFree86 1.1 and Apache 2.0 licenses.  Clearly, Apache 2.0
is not compatible with a standard BSD license.  However, XFree86 1.1 seems
very similar to Apache 1.1, which was acceptable for placement in the tree.

What is it about the XFree 1.1 versus the Apache 1.1 that makes XFree
unacceptable?  Or is this a change in direction (or re-solidifying of
direction) that ensures that non-BSD licenses are not in the tree?  If
Apache is to be forked to retain the old (1.1) license, why is XFree to not
be included with a similar license?

I'm not looking for flames/trolls/other ill effects here.  Just curious.

Thanks,
Seth
