No this isn't about licensing wars, but the word license will be
around in this message and discussion :-(
Let's assume I want to help in advancing Motif technology.
I have this widget which is not originally written by myself,
I cannot do whatever I like with it - I may not be able to change
the license.
I'd like to figure out exactly what I (or anybody else) can
and cannot do.
If I were to ask the OpenGroup to include this widget in OpenMotif,
what would the license have to be ?
Another scenario : I want to enhance both LessTif and OpenMotif
in the same way. The licenses certainly conflict. Does anyone
know other scenarios to solve this problem (other than releasing
my changes under both licenses) ?
I would really like to figure out how to even *begin* to
propose enhancing OpenMotif from the free software community;
right now I just don't see how.
It looks like the only thing the OpenMotif license does is
make the product available, it is not set up for anything else.
Help !
