Thanks! I have reviewed the patch, and while compound text encoding is a
bit beyond me, I do appreciate the heads-up. :)
I notice you are the author of this fix. Because of problems with
XFree86's recent change in licensing policy[1], I'd like to be certain I
know what the provenance of your patch is.
Can you confirm the following statements?
* I am the author of this patch.
* If any copyright attaches to this patch, I hereby place it under the
traditional MIT/X11 license[2].
I apologize for subjecting you to this legalese, and I regret that the
actions of some members of the XFree86 Project, Inc., have made it
necessary. In my view, the Debian Project simply cannot afford even barely
credible accusations of copyright infringement.
