Please note that -support questions should be sent to <XFree86@XFree86.org>. - - -8. The XFree86 Project, Inc. - -The XFree86 Project, Inc, was founded to accomplish two major goals: - - 1. To provide a vehicle by which XFree86 can be represented in X Consortium, - Inc, the organization responsible for the design, development, and - release of The X Window System. - - 2. To provide some basic funding for acquisition of facilities for ongoing - XFree86 development, largely to consist of new video hardware and basic - computing facilities. - -The first of these was the primary motivation. We have held discussions with -the X Consortium on and off for many months, attempting to find an avenue by -which our loosely-organized free software project could be given a voice within -the X Consortium. The bylaws of the Consortium would not recognize such an -organization. After an initial investigation about funding, we decided to form -our own corporation to provide the avenue we needed to meet the requirements of -the X Consortium bylaws. - -By doing this, we were able to be involved in the beta-test interval for X11R6, -and have contributed the majority of XFree86 to the X11R6 and X11R6.1 core -release. The version of XFree86 in the initial X11R6 core is 3.0. The version -of XFree86 in the current X11R6.3 release is 3.2. - -An additional benefit of this incorporation is that The XFree86 Project, Inc -has obtained outside financial support for our work. This will hopefully give -us the freedom to be more pro-active in obtaining new video hardware, and -enable us to release better products more quickly, as we will be able to go and -get what we need, and get it into the hands of the people who can do the work. - -The current Board of Directors and Officers of the The XFree86 Project, Inc, -are: - - o David Dawes, President and Secretary - - o Dirk Hohndel, Vice-President - - o Glenn Lai, Director - - o Rich Murphey, Treasurer - - o Jim Tsillas, Director - - o Jon Tombs, Director - - o David Wexelblat, Director - - - - - - - - - -README for XFree86[tm] 3.3.2 - - - -Email to <BOD@XFree86.org> reaches the board of directors. - -Our bylaws have been crafted in such a way to ensure that XFree86 is and always -will be a free software project. There is no personal financial benefit to any -member of the Core Team or any other XFree86 participant. All assets of the -corporation remain with the corporation, and, in the event of the dissolution -of the corporation, all assets will be turned over to the X Consortium, Inc. -It is hoped that by doing this, our corporation will be merely a formalization -of what we have been doing in the past, rather than something entirely new. - -As of March 1997, The XFree86 Project has revised its source/binary access and -release policy. The main points of the new policy are: - - o There will be no more time-limited public binary-only beta releases. - Instead we plan to increase the frequency of full public releases to about - four releases per year. - - o The source access/use is divided into three categories: - - o End users. End users have access to only the source of full public - releases. The main reason for this restriction is that our develop- - ment code often contains code from other sources which cannot be - released to the public immediately. - - o Active developers (members of the XFree86 ``developer team''). - Active developers must formally become non-voting members of the - XFree86 Project, and have full access to our internal development - source. They are permitted to make time-limited binaries (in coordi- - nation with the Core Team) of the servers they are actively working - on available to external testers for specific testing. - - o Commercial members. Commercial members are non-voting members of The - XFree86 Project who donate US$5000/year to the Project. Addition- - ally, companies who contribute significantly to the development - effort of XFree86 can be awarded commercial membership by the Core - Team on a yearly bases. Commercial members can use the internal - XFree86 development source for derived binary-only products providing - that they take full responsibility for supporting the product, and - don't call it ``XFree86'' (although the derivation of the product - must be acknowledged in any accompanying documentation). Binary - packages for the OSs we support which are simply compiled from our - internal source without significant added value are explicitly NOT - allowed. - -Here is a list of the organizations and individuals who have provided sponsor- -ship to The XFree86 Project, Inc, either by financial contribution or by the -donation of equipment and resources. The XFree86 Project, Inc gratefully -acknowledges these contributions, and hopes that we can do justice to them by -continuing to release high-quality free software for the betterment of the -Internet community as a whole. - - o UUNET Communications Services, Inc. <URL:http://www.uu.net/> - -UUNET Communications Services, Inc, deserves special mention. This - - - - - - - - -README for XFree86[tm] 3.3.2 - - - -organization stepped forward and contributed the entire 1994 X Consortium mem- -bership fee on a moment's notice. This single act ensured XFree86's involve- -ment in X11R6. - - o GUUG -- 1st German Linux Congress - -Also deserving of special mention are the organizers and attendees of the 1st -German Linux Congress in Heidelberg.
