How about OpenMotif at www.openmotif.org? it is not GPL but OGPL (Open Group Public License) Cadence and Mentor Graphics are both Motif tools, even if they try to get away from it. No serious designer would turn down a good tool just because of the GUI toolkit. I would not change a GUI just to change. There must be some other technical reason behind. I think PCB would be ported to Tcl/Tk because it would then fit into the xcircuit and magic applications that Tim is maintaining, and that they can exchange data on an API level some day. -- Svenn
