And the guy who started x.org was the guy who'd actually done 90% of the work on XFree - he just got fed up with leadership being all mouth and no trousers. The change of licence was the last straw.

A lot of people worked on XFree. It's true that Keith did an awful lot,
but so did a lot of other people.

(He *had* been around in the X world forever, though, since 1989 I think.
Of course Jim Gettys had been around longer but Jim's been around longer
than *anyone*, pretty much.)
