Hope you wouldn't :) 

Since I wouldn't be able to create a Motif interface in case you put
it under GPL. I am having a big problems with GPL'd software now:
I am writing a Motif clone of WS_FTP and while the front-end is almost
ready, I am forced to write my own back-end because the usable ftp
software is GPL'd! I feel more then frustrated about it now.
