I think we should just use the proposed license text, which comes
straight from the xserver repo. So far, no-one shipping products or
distributions has ever complained about it, it makes it easier to
share code in a common graphics stack, and it seems like the only
reason to use the other variant would be because opensource.org lists
it as 'the MIT license'. I don't recall the criteria ever being the
exact name of a variant of a family of licenses, but rather the actual
text.

HPND places the extra 'supporting documentation' requirement on
distributors, whereas neither of the MIT licenses do. That's the big
difference.

Cheers,
Daniel
