.SH 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.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
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.
