     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  Release 6.5 and 6.6 of X Version 11 were brought to you by
	  The X.Org Group.  Release 6.4	of X Version 11	was brought to

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The Open Group's X Project Team was created as the successor
	  to the X Consortium, Inc., after the X Consortium was	merged
	  into 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 is 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, standalone
	organization. All rights to the	X Window System	were
	  assigned by MIT to X Consortium, Inc.	on January 1, 1994.  X
	  Consortium, Inc. closed its doors on December	31, 1996.  All
	  rights to the	X Window System	have been assigned to The Open
	  Group, for the benefit of the	members	of X.Org.
