[opensuse-buildservice] Motif has been released under LGPL
Motif has been released under LGPL. I think, it is worth to put openmotif back from NonFree to main repo. http://sourceforge.net/projects/motif http://motif.ics.com/motif-234-release-notes Moreover, it seems that package should also be renamed from openmotif to motif. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

The name was chosen by those that maintained motif. Besides, why hassle with Motif as it's practically dead because of the folks that didn't understand the signs of the times and opensourced Motif much too late?

I am personally maintaining app which uses motif and has been created in the late 80-th. The app is still alive and being developed, and definitely wont die in the coming decade.

I'm maintaining the packages for xephem, which uses motif and is still actively maintained, and is in my personal opinion simply the best ephemeris app ever. I have seen NOTHING on any other platform, including commercial astronomy packages for several hundreds of dollars, that even could dream of coming anywhere close to what xephem can do... and i'd guess that porting xephem to qt/gtk/whatever would basically mean re- inventing it from scratch. bye, MH Am Freitag, 26.

Which can only mean that xephem was written at a time when openmotif wasn't even on the horizon. Or do I err?
and i'd guess that porting xephem to qt/gtk/whatever would basically mean re- inventing it from scratch.
Given from the few I know about either Motif or the modern frameworks I'd guess it would indeed come to that. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
What I forgot to write: if there are actively maintained packages that still need motif then we should IMO go with the OP regarding name and the move out of nonfree.

We moved about 10 packages to nonfree with openmotif, so I'm glad we put so much pressure on the open group ;-) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org

Dream on ;-) Though it is a nice dream. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-buildservice+owner@opensuse.org
