>AT&T would like to place a hand on X11, is it something to do with OpenWin? Dunno, given that AT&T doesn't offer any of the bits of Open Windows (with the *possible* exception of XView) on their machines, as far as I know. Source to various bits of OW comes on the S5R4 tape, but they don't offer the X11/NeWS server (nor any NeWS toolkits), and have their own OL window manager distinct from the Crucible/Sun one. (They also don't own any Sun stock any more, as far as I know, BTW.)
