I'm not aware of compelling technical, and licence changes to make the switch,
There was a licence change, basically the new licence
required certain credits to be shown. It seemed fairly
trivial in some ways but was more a case of the final
straw than that it was such a huge problem in itself.
There has been criticism of the XFree heirarchy and
difficulties with getting patches in (and consequently
slow advancement).
Debian decided to continue using the last GPL
compatible release of XFree instead of swapping to
Xorg because they wanted to wait until Xorg had been
modularised.
