I brought this problem to Jim Gettys's attention several weeks ago (in
January); he has been engaged in discussions with SGI since then, and is
seeking a resolution.

For those who don't know, Jim Gettys is an employee of HP Labs, and one of
the "founding fathers" of the X Window System, along with Bob Scheifler
and Keith Packard.

Jim has experience with licensing issues as well, having successfully
negotiated the liberalization of Bitstream's font license on their Vera
faces (now the standard font family for GNOME, as I understand it).

This issue is in Jim's capable hands, and this bug will be apprised of
further developments.
