First, I asked RMS about the Xview library, and there was enough odd legal mumbo-jumbo (I hope I never speak legalese) that he was going to ask the FSF lawyers about use of Xview for GNU. Sun states in their copyright notice that use of the toolkit is allowed, but it does NOT state that the code may be freely distributed. (Hey, Sun, put that in the notice!). As far as NFS goes, the 4.3BSD-Reno distribution is claimed to have a freely redistributable NFS implementation that is completely Sun free. This is a real bonus for the standards world, since no Sun licenses will be required. It's a bummer for the technical world (more people will use NFS now. ick. poo. IMAO). david d [zoo] zuhn Univ. of Minnesota Dept. of Astronomy zoo@aps1.spa.umn.edu Automated Plate Scanner Project
