I don't think most developers are really interested in the reason for the 
switch. We already told a (potentially flawed) reason for switching, so why 
not just skip this step this time? Those that are interested can either read 
the newsgroup link, or send a mail for clarification (as mentioned in the 
mail).
All developers already agreed to the license change. If someone was actually 
misled she can clarify the situation separately. For most of us the desire to 
have the license to be the same as the xorg-license seems reasonable, 
sufficient and acceptable.
