Please read http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/faq.html QUESTION: Does the Open Group Public License for Motif meet the Open Source Guidelines? ANSWER: No. The Open Group Public License for Motif grants rights only to use the software on or with operating systems that are themselves Open Source programs. In restricting the applicability of the license to Open Source platforms this does not meet term 8 of the Open Software Definition (http://www.opensource.org/osd.html). QUESTION: Will Motif be made Open Source in the future? ANSWER: Yes, we hope to be able to make a distribution under a license complying with the Open Source guidelines sometime in the future. For now this is as close as to Open Source as we could get. It seems to me that they are quite aware what they are doing and why it isn't good enough. -- Peter er ikke sur, han er sær -- og han er ikke DIKUs sureste koder, men måske nok DIKUs særeste ;) - citat Pink
