NAME

SYNOPSIS
       Release  6.5 and 6.6 of X Version 11 was brought to you by The X.Org Group.  Release 6.4 of X Version
       11 was brought to you by The X Project Team.

DESCRIPTION
       The Open Group's X Project Team was created as the successor to the X Consortium, Inc., after  the  X
       Consortium  ceased  operations  and  transferred  ownership of X11 to The Open Group. The X.Org Group
       (hereinafter called "X.Org") was created as the successor to The X Project Team after  the  The  Open
       Group ceased operating The X Project Team. The purpose of X.Org was to foster development, evolution,
       and maintenance of the X Window System.  X.Org operates under the  corporate  umbrella  of  The  Open
       Group.

       The  X  Consortium was an independent, not-for-profit Delaware membership corporation.  It was formed
       in 1993 as the successor to the MIT X Consortium.

       The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at the Massachusetts Institute  of  Technology.   In
       1988,  MIT  formed  a member-funded consortium to provide the technical and administrative leadership
       necessary to support further development of the X Window System.  In 1992,  MIT  and  the  membership
       decided  it  was in their best interests to move the consortium out of MIT and create an independent,
       stand-alone organization.  All rights to the X Window System were assigned by MIT  to  X  Consortium,
       Inc.  on  January  1,  1994.   On  December 31, 1996 the X Consortium, Inc.  closed its doors and all
       rights to the X Window System were assigned to The Open Group.
