Xfree has changed there licence in ways people dont like.  X.org has more runky stuff (transparency I think being one).

I to cant get to the bottom of this, after some googling couldent even find a comparason for the licence.

I to would be very interested,

Ben

Does someone have the patience to explain the difference between XFree86
and X.org to me, or the advantage of one over the other?
