X консорциум (X.org), некоторые члены распавшейся "Xfree86 core team" и владельцы ресурса freedesktop.org (http://freedesktop.org) объявили о создании единой группы, целью которой будет увеличение функциональности X сервера Xfree86 и разработка нового оконного менеджера.

Хоть бы проверяли иногда :( на www.xfree86.org явно в новостях написано, что это ложь

    There are several news items claiming that X.Org and The XFree86 Project have merged. This is untrue. XFree86's relationship with X.Org has not changed since 1999 when we became an honourary member of X.Org. The XFree86 Project remains an independent organisation both legally and operationally. It will continue to as an independent organisation as mandated by its mission statement and bylaws. There has been no discussion with X.Org about any such merge, let alone any agreement to a merge.

    X.Org is a vendor-sponsored organisation, formed by vendors to best suit the interests of those vendors; XFree86 is an independent volunteer organisation, with a focus on the individual. Therein lies the rub.
