There is a problem which disturbs me since a while.
From the OpenMotif license:
The rights granted under this license are limited solely to distribution and
sublicensing of the Contribution(s) on, with, or for operating systems which
are themselves Open Source programs.
"Open Source" programs mean software for which the source code is available
without confidential or trade secret restrictions and for which the source code
and object code are available for distribution without license charges.

We have to stop tricking our users into license violation by setting
MOTIF_TYPE_DEFAULT to lesstif on our closed platforms where we use it now.
These are OSF1, HPUX, BSDOS, AIX, and Interix*.
Anyone objects this change?
*Also a not trivial question: How to treat solaris/opensolaris and darwin?
It should be possible to detect if its opensolaris for the first,
but what about the latter (I guess it falls into the closed category)?
