    Did you read the XFree86 mailing list item?

    Did you know what precipitated the "rumor"? Apparently Trident wouldn't allow the source code exception to the NDA- and XFree86 doesn't work that way (and unless they were paying me handsomely, I definitely wouldn't either...).

    If they won't allow open source as part of the deal, then it's not quite a rumor, now is it?
