Umm, the version of Motif that was sold by SwiM(??) explicitly made it
possible that we could distribute binaries linked against it.  This goes
against what was mentioned on the newsgroup, but the CS dept. at MSU was
very sure that they were completely free and legal to distribute
binaries that were linked against the version of Motif they bought.

It is version 1.2, and they did get written permission from the
distributor.
