First off, I don't know where that statement came from regarding Tungsten's
contracts.

I'll continue to make contributions under the license that
exists in the trident, glint and other drivers I've contributed to.

I'm not at liberty to discuss contracts that Tungsten have, so you'd
have to examine any license when code is offered to the community as
and when Tungsten deliver it.

For the record, I've already stated that I will merge Mesa 6.x into
the X.Org CVS when I get some time again. I'm heavily involved in other
things at the moment.
