It seems that The Open Group has now finally returned back to the liberal
MIT/BSD Copyright for X11R6.4. See
http://www.opengroup.org/x/
There is no official statement from The XFree86 Project yet on whether
the next version of XFree86 will have support X11R6.4, but since the
change of licensing policy by TOG was the main problem, I personally think
that a further official fix is in sight.
