This got me to thinking. Perhaps the QPL (QTv2+) is the perfect license for what the Open Group needs... Would the Open Group be willing to take a lateral step and restrict the usage of OpenMotif to linkage with Open Source programs only? Their cash cow would remain intact, but their software would be fully Open Source, as well as Free Software. -- David Johnson... _____________________________ http://www.usermode.org
