67.41 	SunSoft Motif 1.2.2 Royalties to OSF
	From: dayyee@gigahz.Eng.Sun.COM (Dianna Ann Yee)

	Sun Microsystem Inc. requests the assistance of all developers
	who have created Motif-based applications utilizing the Motif
	1.2.2 toolkit from SunSoft.  SunSoft is obligated to pay OSF
	(Open Software Foundation) royalties for  Motif 1.2.2 based
	applications distributed for internal or external use. The
	DISTRIBUTION of any Motif-based application other than a Run
	Time Copy must be accounted for on a per-copy basis, and must
	be reported to SunSoft on a quarterly basis.  "Run time copy"
	is defined as a copy of any subset of routines from the libXm,
	libXrm, or libUil library files in object code form which is
	statically linked within an application program and executable
	only with that single application.

For example, a developer MUST report if he/she distributes any of the 
dynamic libraries libXm.so, libMrm.so, or libUil.so as a part of the
application.  However the developer does NOT need to report if the 
application is statically linked to the Motif libraires, or if the 
application dynamically links to Motif libraries delivered as a part 
of the Solaris operating system.

Quarterly reports regarding the number of applications distributed 
should be sent to the following address:

SunSoft Finance Department
Attn:  Josephina Shen
2550 Garcia Avenue
MS MTV08-108
Mountain View, California  94043

The Motif 1.2.2 toolkit was distributed as an unbundled product (for 
Solaris 2.2 SPARC), and as a part of the Solaris 2.1 SDK for x86 and 
the Solaris 2.3 SDK for SPARC.  Developers who are currently distibuting
Motif applications and Motif dynamic libraries based on Motif 1.2.2 from
SunSoft are requested to submit their reports to SunSoft immediately.
Please note that SunSoft, and NOT the individual developer, is responsible 
for paying the Motif royalties to OSF. Developers who developed and 
distributed applications based upon Motif purchased from vendors other 
than SunSoft need not report their application numbers to SunSoft. 

Any questions regarding the payment of Motif 1.2.2 royalties to OSF
should be directed to Jim Mukerjee, SunSoft Product Marketing Manager for 
Motif, or Dianna Yee, SunSoft Product Marketing Manager for the SDK.
