"In retrospect I think this was naive; if you look at the history,
you'll see that neither CSRG nor the X Consortium were really
successful in getting third parties to contribute back most of their
changes--and so what we really got in both cases was a long list of
derived but very different, and often incompatible, systems. ... If I
were doing it again, I might very well switch to the LGPL."
