No distribution as far as I know plans to ship XFree 4.4. A tree without the
problematic changes is being maintained by 'everyone else' as the X.org tree
at freedesktop.org. I'm glad 4.4 is working well for you since it should mean
the x.org tree also does.

Apache doesn't get linked with GPL apps (and Apache has always been GPL
non friendly because of other things our version links with). So the whole
"apache shock horror" thing has really had most people scratching their heads
attempting to understand why it is a story.
