Hi Markus, Kristian,

since I'm not completely alone with my worries here, I too would like to
hear what your friend has to say before we do any changes. I do not
have any such connections myself.

I'm still not really sure which license we would like to pick if we can
change it without stomping on any contributor's rights. Maybe the
following would be of guidance?
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/tree/COPYING

Kristian, isn't the xserver COPYING file's first license (called MIT
and preferred) the one you wanted to use?


Thanks,
pq
