My support is for 1.2.* (the most popular version of Motif, and the one
used by 90% of the Motif applications), while the GPL'ed Motif is 2.1.
It will take only 300-500 hours to port it from 1.2 to 2.1 (assuming it
is done by me personally; It's almost impossible by another one); I even
don't mind to sleep less hours at nights in order to do it. Unfortunately,
I already don't sleep at all, because of my obligations :-( (except for
Saturdays and holidays).

If you convince them to make 1.2 GPL'ed too, it will take only 10-20
hours. I don't have this time too, but we can make a deal that will save
me this time: Currently, I waste a lot of time to convince Venture
Capitalists to invest in our start-up. It's very easy to convince (our
market is the largest, our technology is unique and already working and
powering Internet sites, the technology is "intriguing" and refreshing,
our "angels" are strategic and very respected, we face a strong demand
and have projects with two of the three largest computer companies in the
world), but it still require dozen of hours of me ("thanks" to the
conditions of the market). If you do it, you will earn your percentage,
and save some time for me which will allow me to do this port - but again
- only for 1.2.
Take into account that it is almost impossible to reach Venture
Capitalists these days, and that your chance to convince anybody to open
Motif 1.2 is 0%; Sorry, but not everybody is so open and liberal like me
;-)

Hetz - BTW: Did you notice my question regarding expected release dates
of Mandrake 8.0 and RH 7.1?
