Wasn't XFree86 discontinued years and years ago now? They made an obnoxious license change to prevent people forking it, with the result that everyone forked it one version before the license change. Shortly after that debacle their dev team disbanded.
Yes. Google Keith Packard.
In the late 1990's and early 2000's there were basically two versions of X Window. the X Window System reference release and the XFree86 release. X.Org was set up by DEC, HP, IBM, SUN, SGI, Sequent and a few other non-hardware vendors to maintain the X Window System reference implementation after the final death throes of the X Consortium.

XORG(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual XORG(7)
NAME
X.Org, XProjectTeam - X.Org Group information
SYNOPSIS
Release 6.5 and 6.6 of X Version 11 was brought to you by The X.Org Group. Release 6.4 of X Version 11 was brought to you by The X Project
Team.
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 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.
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 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 organi-
zation. 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 Con-
sortium, Inc. closed its doors and all rights to the X Window System were assigned to The Open Group.
