In one of my previous postings, I presumed to know more than I do about the licensing agreement for OpenWindows. My information was from a usually reliable source outside both Sun and AT&T who this time blew it. As was quickly pointed out to me by numerous people the $995 media charge is has *nothing* to do with AT&T. As was posted here in a previous message it is a charge for the sizeable amount of documentation and media that ships with OpenWindows. It is therefore a *media* charge only. Also, I stated that porting OpenWindows to a non-UNIX machine would incur no licensing fee, this was also incorrect. I apologize to both Sun Microsystems and AT&T for any misrepresentation of the OpenWindows licenses and for any damage I may have caused to them. That said, could someone from Sun or AT&T who *knows* the answers to the commonly asked questions about the OpenWindows announcement please join the forum and enlighten us? Apologies again, Peter
