  Richard --

  As we understand it from OSF, you are allowed to compile your
  programs STATICALLY and restribute them without worry of royalty
  payments.

  If you have any further questions, please mail 'tech@metrolink.com'.
  They can provide you with additional help if you need it.

  Thanks!
