Hello, This one-line patch completes the work to get CDE building out of the box on SPARC. Unfortunately, there's still much work to do debugging crashes with the resultant executables. Kind regards, Lev >From 689b9c12d1a36544d3fda591304d75ec566c70f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lev Kujawski

A bit of research reveals a precedent for this when the Open Group transferred its copyright interests in X11 to X.org: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-October/018514.html > On Feb 3, 2021, at 21:31, Lev via cdesktopenv-devel > wrote: > > Hi Jon, > > If getting Motif and CDE

Hi Jon, If getting Motif and CDE relicensed under X11 someday is still desirable, I think having the CDE project become a member of Software in the Public Interest (they already help manage the legal side of X.org, etc.) could be helpful. There are a lot of advantages of relicensing: - Less wor
