They are closed, but still freely redistributable.
Initially libm was not available even as a redistributable binary so I
used FreeBSD libm and modified it for BeleniX. The same was
initially done by SchilliX. This is no longer required as the OpenSolaris
libm sources are now available.
As of today Motif however is not OpenSource and not redistributable.
So I am using OpenMotif and modified it slightly. This is required for
the AWT/Swing in Solx86 JDK to work.

How did the makers of these distributions overcome the closed nature
of these packages, please?
And maybe a last question: Where are the still closed components listet?
