- When DW/Motif was released in the UK, with its license, I made several equiries
- to our local DEC sales people. The answer I got was that because part of the
- code was not DEC's property a license fee *had* to be charged. Hence the 100
- pounds for any machine offer. As far as I know there was *never* a free license
- program in the UK. I suppose it's just another example of the US getting a much
- better deal than the UK. (Or the rest of the world?)
