They are merely statements, I honestly am not sure how I feel on the paticular controversies associated.

Well, that’ll work, if they feel like recompiling things to use DirectFB. If this rumor is true, however, and Google puts *everything* under a GPL-compatible license, it’s awesome news for DirectFB and *possibly* bad for X Windows

Why do I say that? Google developers + DirectFB = rapid development + really good DirectFB. ;) Also, it’s conceivable that X Windows – developers who leave for DirectFB = slower development for X Windows. Although that might be a good thing — with few developers, maybe they’ll stop sticking in new features as often and work on performance, bugs, compatibility, etc instead. :|
