SYNOPSIS

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.
