The question was: "why not make it GPL instead of X11/MIT?"
The answer was: "because we could not recontribute to XFree86"
Then: "GPL would not cause anything <bad> about this, let's not forget it is
an independent fork, maybe GPL would make it better".
That is false. Xouvert is an independant developement branch. It is
not a fork. Everything we do, is intended to be incorporated in the
"stable" XFree86 project eventually.
As a branch, and not a fork, it is important to keep the licenses
compatible and consistent, and not to alienate our co-developers at the
XFree86 project.
