If you make a binary release of Motif and ship it with your system (paying $40 to OSF) you cannot also ship the sources to the demo programs (at least by my reading of the license). But the demo source is the real "manual" on how to program Motif widgets and the various books on Motif are based on the sources for these demo programs. It would be nice of the binary distribution license said you could ship the Motif binaries plus the sources for the things in the 'sample' directory. -- Robert Adams adams@littlei.intel.com ...!uunet!littlei!adams X-Face: P;c7j*q8X`{:N9lq6O1Gfwp]V"g%ye=D02@.mNyUTP$|TwR'rb)t|NAX{Nh%~E(#AA(\o6O %*`PBmEV|8\|1h_g?<g\0H[_TMcjqun0r^qV~F10Q\l_ByzPK?E"yZote{o8A0RRdGn]%QLG`Y[>|9 T9z?EPW,lQV3p}7Xv[6jV(q,ghd).M(ul7|cJjcf6;`6K:;hgv]9=6v&>3Y=>h3"23x("uHz4_&\75 J`aE[zoT,Y9?B~GrZwQM72M#'-~MSTD-hP?P~a-/"o|"W2"<.'F9+yIOJm=!O4=:K`=SBUs9Z9?

What is DIGITAL shipping with its current MOTIF kit for VAX/VMS? Hard to beleive that the standard examples would not be included. The fact that the examples are extensively refered to in the manuals (and obviously you can ship the manuals) would tend to imply the same treatment to be given as the manuals.

We are working on springing the demo program sources free of license restrictions. This should happen very soon. -- David Brooks dbrooks@osf.org Systems Engineering, OSF uunet!osf.org!dbrooks
