Yes, it covers distributors such as us. It means that we still need to |
| 16 |
acknowledge xfree86 if we make any acknowledgement. I could live with a |
| 17 |
restriction where xfree86 would require an acknowlegement for any |
| 18 |
derivated products which aim for a similar audience, given that that |
| 19 |
would not include only distributor-patched versions of xfree. |
