It should be clear that X.Org is not into scamming.
And it should be possible to provide evidence for that.
It can't be that a private company by making certain 
assumptions can seize money not belonging to them.
Even if this is in their contracts can hardly be legal.
I would think that if there is money coming out of 
fraudulent business only the state can seize it. In
this case there is judicial review.

At least X.Org's legal counsel from the SFLC should have
been consulted.
