Oh, right, this matters for the binary kits. For source
distributions, we can use any library.
I don't see any difference. Aren't the binary kits dynamically linked
against Motif, anyway. Are you allowed to ship archive linked Motif
applications?
As for non-distribution of third-party libraries, what about requiring
dynamic linking? Surely there is nothing anybody could say that would
prevent a dynamically linked Qt executable from being freely
distributed, no?
