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 operat-
       ing 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  Con-
       sortium.

       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.  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.
