Yes I saw it. Dirk said "It will be free". My mail asking him exactly
'what sense and how' free never got a reply.

I've faith in the XFree team, but Im very worried about what happens as
XFree/Opengroup diverge or if Opengroup try and force in extensions to their
code to make it hard for XFree and 'official' X to work together. I also
know that if the XFree folks didnt do what the majority wanted there would
be a new XFree. Given the folks in charge I also doubt such a thing would
occur.

This is a bad for everyone issue.
