Sorry, I've mispoken here and I can certainly see your reason for priotizing
your development. However, you guys should consider releasing the sources for
MI/X server under GPL (GNU Public License). This way people in the community
could help out implementing additional features, including those features that
may be useful for your product. Just a thought.
