...how many misconceptions are out there.
For one, what goes in XFree86 does not become a standard. X.Org is still a governing body for the X standard. I think it was Metro Link who initiated the entire thing of inviting the XFree86 to become an honorary member.
Also, when the X licensing policy changed with R6, it was Xi who pushed for the change in policy in hopes of isolating the XFree86 and hindering their ability to comply to the standard. We all know what a fiasco that turned out to be.
