NAME
       XOrgFoundation - X.Org Foundation information

SYNOPSIS
       Release	6.7  and  later of X Version 11 is brought to you by the X.Org
       Foundation.

DESCRIPTION
       The X.Org Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit 501(c)(3)	 char‐
       ity  corporation.   It was formed in 2004 as the successor to the X.Org
       Group at The Open Group. The purpose of the X.Org Foundation is to fos‐
       ter the development, evolution, and maintenance of the X Window System,
       a comprehensive set  of	vendor-neutral,	 system-architecture  neutral,
       network-transparent  windowing and user interface standards. Membership
       in the X.Org Foundation is free and open to anyone. The	X.Org  Founda‐
       tion  hosts  a  public  git  repository of the source code on freedesk‐
       top.org.

       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 (then known as the Open Software Founda‐
       tion).
