X.org server I think was the one that had to be abandoned, or was it XFree86.. one of the major X11 implementations had to be completely abandoned and rewritten as whatever replaced it.

@drewdevault

It literally did, though as pointed out by another commenter it didnt require a complete rewrite only partial, but did require a complet reorg and rename.

@drewdevault@fosstodon.org any idea people stand to gain by just lying about trivial shit like this guy? like what profit is there in just being this wrong on the internet out loud, I wonder

I mean I prefer the MIT license personally but I've never felt the need to just invent shit to defend it, much less shit that is quick and easy to look up and identify as bullshit. What's the goal here, I wonder?

@khm

Here is a quote from wikipedia basically agreeing with what I said word for word.

> The newer terms are referred to as the XFree86 License 1.1. Many projects relying on XFree86 found the new license unacceptable, and the Free Software Foundation considers it incompatible with the version 2 of the GNU General Public License, though compatible with version 3.

@drewdevault

quiet, dipshit, I'm talking about you, not asking you for more irrelevant shit
