Sun has been licensing NeWS for several years.  Originally they charged $25K
for source, but may have adjusted their policy with regards to X-Windows
popularity.  Silicon Graphics uses NeWS as its standard window system.
A company, I beileve called Grasshopper, sells a Mac version.  The strong
similarity of Display Postscript to NeWS has slowed down NeWS ports too.
