Re: GPL vs. Motif (was: MaintainerDatabase Copyright)
It doesn't make any sense for you to distribute the source to Motif with
your static-linked Motif executable, since the source to Motif is not
available to you. I'm inclined to consider it an operating-system facility.
I can take it up with RMS if you wish.
Of course, people should use lesstif if at all possible. I see only a few
-smotif programs in "stable":
xephem
gimp (I think the one in unstable doesn't use motif at all).
ddd (Already replaced by a lesstif version)
xtar
nedit
Is this worse for unstable? Hopefully some of these can be built with
lesstif.
