Jeff, it is possible you are wasting your time. I've mailed TOG people for a few days about this issue and thus far gotten no response. I think they are not listening. Or perhaps they've gotten so large that the 4 email addresses I've mailed haven't yet contacted their X11 programmers (no wonder they are in need of so much licensing money!) Note to TOG: You guys don't just look like fools -- it's far worse than that. I am certain what is going on here will be remembered when TOG tries to take the perfectly free X11 code we have now and change the license so that it is some hacked-up version of the Artistic License designed so that you can later assert control over X11 (because it is obvious that the attempts at taking control immediately have failed). As far as I know, XFree86 is coming up with their own independent audit of those areas and those fixes will likely be out in a day or two more. Though I am quite busy with other tasks, I am considering helping XFree86 out with an audit. (Though I bet TOG would take anything discovered through that process and re-sell the changes as if it was their own invention, that's what they always do. But that's the wonder of the BSD license. We even let parasites feed their families and furnish their offices with paintings).
