 That is correct; a Copyright Holder can make their code available under
multiple licenses (or, rather, license their code multiple times.)  But,
if I understand Rick correctly, that is not really his problem.  I think
he is saying that he cannot use OpenMotif plus his changes on, say, an
HPUX box, without paying a licensing fee.  Since those changes would be
to a library, they most likely wouldn't be immediately useful if
separated from that library.

 As Rick noted, HP doesn't ship OpenMotif.
