MF22: Important fixes for loading XFree86 distributions I forgot to
merge after 2.2.7 (I was wondering why that bug looked so familiar!).
Also update some docs accordingly.

S.u.S.E. will continue to develop these servers and will +continue to try to donate the code back to XFree86. For the time being S.u.S.E. +will try to not only make Linux binaries available, but binaries for other +platforms as well. +Please contact x@suse.de with further questions.

Thanks +The XFree86 Project wants to express a special thanks to S.u.S.E. GmbH, Fuerth, +Germany, for the long and successful cooperation over the last few years. +S.u.S.E. GmbH at one point hired our Core Team member and Vice President Dirk +Hohndel as an employee and allowed him to work more or less full time on +XFree86 for almost nine months. S.u.S.E. continues to be a significant source +of input and help to XFree86. This manifested itself in the XSuSE series of X +servers that have all except for the GLINT server (due to unresolved legal +issues) been integrated into XFree86 3.3.2. -The following is required for new installations, and optional for existing -installations: +6.

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.
