          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P1

Sorry to do this after the feature freeze, but I just remembered

The XFree86 autoconfig/getconfig stuff is under the non-free X-Oz (same as
XFree86 1.1) licence. This really, really should be removed per our guidelines
for having everything in our tree non-licence-contaminated. This covers the
getconfig stuff, as well as programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/xf86AutoConfig.c, and
the stuff that calls that from xf86Init.c, et al.

Again, sorry for the inconvenience of doing this so late, but I completely forgot.

Kevin, if you agree with this assessment, please make this bug a release-blocker.
