[gentoo-dev] No XFree86 w/ new license

[Donnie Berkholz]

We won't be adding versions of XFree86 with the 1.1 license [1] to the
tree, so don't be surprised when 4.3.99.903 doesn't show up with the new
license.

I won't elaborate on the reasons because it's been discussed quite
thoroughly in other forums [2-8].

We are seeking solutions/alternatives for this issue, so you can sit
back, relax and let us do the dirty work.

Thanks,
Donnie
