This is a good point! My linux had no Motif 'til a bought one for about
$100. And so I think this is commercial also.
Motif allows dynamic as well es static linking for distribution (I bought
a developers license), Qt allows the same, Xforms (another good example)
also, only GPL collides with it... but nobody cares.
So we have only one choice: drop Motif (just joking ;-)
Nothing wrong with that. :)
All my systems at home come with Qt, but not with Motif, so what does
that say? :)
