I'm pretty sure I never said "code", I said format. Which simply means it
can parse the same file, and in Debian (or other distributions) it means
we can make X look at that file from glibc, as opposed to it's own list.
This would mean it is always in sync with the system.
There are no license conflicts with this approach.
