Versions of XFree86 up to and including some release candidates for 4.4.0 were under the MIT License, a permissive, non-copyleft free software license. XFree86 4.4 was released in February 2004 with a change to the license: the addition of a credit clause,[1] similar to that in the original BSD license,[2] but broader in scope
I guess I don't see the "evil" in this, especially from a *BSD point of view. I read the Xfree86 license 1.1 and just really don't get it.
