Are there any plans to use XFree86 4.4 with FC2? I'm running it

it is *way* better than the 4.3 branch in terms of speed, font
reliability and window handling.
No distribution as far as I know plans to ship XFree 4.4. A tree without the
problematic changes is being maintained by 'everyone else' as the X.org tree
at
freedesktop.org. I'm glad 4.4 is working well for you since it should mean
the x.org tree also does.
I'm aware that there is something up with the licence not being
100%
kosher with the GPL, but should that stop it? Apache has a wrangle and
that is shipped.
Apache doesn't get linked with GPL apps (and Apache has always been GPL
non friendly because of other things our version links with). So the whole
"apache shock horror" thing has really had most people scratching their heads
attempting to understand why it is a story.
