DESCRIPTION
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, stand-
alone 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.
