Hi,
For some reason we have one non-oss package in our oss repo and this needs to be fixed - so I would like to drop openmotif from oss and move it (and it's dependencies).
To quote from http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/faq.html: The Open Group Public License for Motif grants rights only to use the software on or with operating systems that are themselves Open Source programs.
