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  trans-
  ferred 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 pur-
  pose 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 Con-
  sortium.

  The X Window System was created in the mid-1980s at  the  Massachusetts
  Institute  of  Technology.  In 1988, MIT formed a member-funded consor-
  tium 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 organiza-
  tion.  All rights to the X Window System were assigned by MIT to X Con-
  sortium,  Inc.  on January 1, 1994.  On December 31, 1996 the X Consor-
  tium, Inc.  closed its doors and all rights to the X Window System were
  assigned to The Open Group.
