For those of you who want the short version.

** block quote **

"The TOG licensing change is incompatible with the goals of XFree86 and
most of the free software community that have been in communication with
The XFree86 Project directors over the last week.  Some have made the
point that the change would make it extremely difficult for their
projects to ship physical media which contains TOG derived product, and
they've made their preference for unencumbered X11R6.3-based source
releases overwhelmingly clear. A fundamental part of XFree86's mission
is service to the free software community. As a result, The XFree86
Project is opposed to TOG's new licensing terms."
