[compiz] Patchs criterias

[Quinn Storm]

I've wanted to avoid an "official fork" as long as possible, feeling
that it could in the end work against everyone's best interest, but
this all depends on the upstream (freedesktop.org/novell) developers.
I realize their goals probably differ somewhat from mine / those of us
who work through compiz.net, which has lead to the divergence.  If it
comes down to it though, in the spirit of the GPL, I am not against
managing my tree as a semi-fork (I'd still sync with updates from
freedesktop cvs of course, as davidr and friends often commit important
updates)  Also, I want to point out, another potential issue with the
current freedesktop codebase is that (and this is NOT something I know
for sure) the novell team MIGHT want to keep it dual-licensed, and not
everyone wants to submit to something under those terms. (I myself am a
GPL gal, but am somewhat flexible if it is necessary)

Anyhow, those are my incoherent ramblings.
