Will appreciate any feedback on this, we have some applications on the SGI-IRIX platform we want to port to Linux, these apps are using Viewkit heavily! Regards, Vijoy.

If I can compile a list of companies/apps that use ViewKit and want to port to Linux and this is stopping them, that would make a valid business case for porting ViewKit (if not GPL'ing it). I think people here could be interested. The last time I heard this proposed, there were some legal problems which needed to be worked out. Plus no one had made a really good marketing case. Please let me know! -tduffy On Tue, 23 May 2000, Vijoy Gaddipati wrote: > > Hi, > > Now that Motif is released to open source ( > http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif ) are there any plans of doing the > same to Viewkit.
