cat << EOF
X servers (including Xorg, Xprt, Xvfb, Xnest & Xdmx), the core of the X Window System.
+
+The XOrg Foundation, (a.k.a. X.org) has changed to an Open Source model to
+maintain the official Public Implementation of X11.
+
+The XOrg Foundation invites anyone who has an interest to join in. Anyone
+may create and work on a branch in the repository. See XOrgRepository for
+more information about the XOrg Foundation repository.
+
+The repository consists of an imported XFree86 tree that is very close
+to their 4.4 release. Just before its 4.4 release, XFree86 adopted a
+new licensing scheme incompatible with the GPL. For this reason, we have
+recreated its tree as closely as possible without importing files affected
+by the new license. Our tree is being referred to as simply "XOrg", and a
+public release will be made shortly.
