		*** Questions ***

Does the X.Org Foundation want to be the owner of the rights for some material?
I was under the impression it did not want to hold such rights for any material,
contrary to the what X Consortium Inc. did.

Should the name "X.org Foundation, Inc." be "X.Org Foundation"?
The foundation is not a corporation.

Assuming the foundation wants to hold the rights to this document, the license text
is missing. Only the X Consortium license is written here. Both are very similar,
but different. That would make the document dual licensed by the consortium and the foundation.
Kind of complicated.
