This is because xrdb by default will try to run your resource files
through the C preprocessor. After installing a new version of Xcode you
need to accept the license before you can run the C preprocessor.
If you don't need the C preprocessor for your resource files you can pass
the -nocpp option to xrdb and I assume you won't need to accept the Xcode
license.

I installed Xquartz 2.7.8 today (on Yosemite), and when it came back up, my xterm windows weren’t coming up with the right font and didn’t have the scrollbar enabled. So I started looking around, and noticed in the console log messages:
11/5/15 1:46:08.000 PM org.macosforge.xquartz.startx[20239]: Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
Well, that’s odd. Why would starting up Xquartz get into the Xcode license? I hadn't run Xcode for awhile, not since it was last updated, and sure enough, it prompted me to agree to the latest Xcode/iOS license, so I did. I quit Xcode and Xquartz, then restarted Xquartz, and now my xterms again have the correct font and the scrollbar is enabled, just like things used to be, and the log messages are no longer appearing.
