some concerns about Sun going around telling people there is no support for Motif and that Motif doesn't support 508 accessibility requirements.

The feeling I got when reading the initial replies on this thread was that the Sun folks were speaking within the context of the Motif libraries shipped by Sun, which are from the era of CDE, not a modern implementation of OpenMotif or whatever is contemporary. In this context, the comparison is not disparaging if it's true, and its true.

You've taken all this to mean or refer to modern Motif, an animal of a bit different color. If you want to see OpenMotif or whatever introduced in OpenSolaris in order to replace the ancient and Obsolete CDE Motif libraries, you like anyone else is encouraged to get a sponsor and do so. Wouldn't this route be more preferable as an advocate of a piece of software vs. emitting threats of legal action?
