This work was largely developed by Mark Lipscombe over the past few months, and should become generally available in preliminary form, along with many other new features, as part of our next major GNU Bayonne release this August, during LinuxWorld in San Francisco.

Licensing issues are being discussed in Xfree86's fork forums. The questions on the presence of propietary software in Xfree86's source tree, or the imposition of licensing all contributions under a non-copylefted license come to place now. One of the most relevant things people could expect of Xfree86's fork is a change in their politics. Wether the Xfree86's fork will inherit the same problems Xfree86 has is something being discussed in the fork's forums at this time.

The European Parliament Legal Affairs and Internal Market (JURI)[1] committee voted last tuesday on the software patents directive COM(2002)92 [2]. The committee passed the rapporteur's draft with some modifications. The resulting report[3] shows the opposing views in the committee. One third of the members opposed to the report, and only 3 amendments from the opinions of the Industry[4] and Culture[5] committees passed (2 of them despite the opposition of the rapporteur).
