Hi. Linking with Motif of GPL'd software only allowed on operating systems which get shipped with Motif as an essential part of it (like Solaris). Which means that linking with Motif on Linux is not allowed. (I asked RMS directly about that and received the above response). This leads to some kind of discrimination, IMHO, which prefered to be ignored by our DFSG zealots. Thanks.
