not really.  the only issue is that distributors using 4.4.0 or later are
required to include something like "this software project makes use of software
created by the xfree86 project" or somesuch in their documentation.  if the
xfld guys are willing to do that, there's no problem (well, unless you agree
with the FSF's interpretation that the new license is GPL-incompatible, in
which case you can't use any GPLed drivers or derivatives of the server).

last i checked, the current release of x.org was just xfree86 4.4.0rc2 with a
few patches added.  now, the _next_ release of x.org is supposed to have some
new, nifty stuff in it, but it's not yet out.
