That’s a suggestion that GPL has “annoying licensing issues.” And what's behind X11 anyway? Is this the former president (until recently) of the GNOME Foundation?
This comes a year after Miguel de Icaza’s ODF insult, to use Richard Stallman’s words:

Governments around the world are interested in using an open standard format. They have to decide whether to insist on a real open standard, such as ODF, or accept a sham open standard, OOXML. If they choose the former, they are likely to move somewhat to OpenOffice. Otherwise they are likely to be stuck with Microsoft Office.
