Re: [TCLUG:17728] Motif has gone opensource!

["Thomas T. Veldhouse" <veldy@veldy.net>]

It is free as source code on an opensource operating system - no
restrictions.  Binary and source distribution is fine.  Solaris will suffer
from this license it seems.

I would use it without looking back - as long as they don't have the right
to make it restricted source again (the existing open code that is).
