For some reason I had thought a separate legal entity existed for fd.o, but perhaps not.

XDC2012: Status report from the X.Org Board

Posted Oct 15, 2012 5:53 UTC (Mon) by acoopersmith (subscriber, #72107) [Link]

Freedesktop.org decided to avoid the multi-year paperwork requirements for forming their own non-profit organization and instead affiliated with Software in the Public Interest (SPI).

X.Org works closely with freedesktop.org, as they provide hosting to X.Org and the related free graphics stack projects (Mesa, Wayland, DRI, etc.). The X.Org Foundation has been sponsoring work all along that stack, including projects for Mesa, Wayland, and DRI as well as the core/traditional X Window System, and the X.Org conferences include talks from all those projects as well.
