DECWindows vs X

[Frederick M. Avolio]

  A few weeks before the Ultrix announcement there was an annoucenment
that digital intends to license XUI -- basically the X User Interface, style
guide, toolkit, etc. from the DECwindows program.  

To quote you... "Some commitment."  What makes you uncomfortable with
Digital building a powerful, easy-to-use, X11-based interface and then
offering it to the industry to license -- source code, documentation, etc.?
Remember, Digital is the compangy that gave TONS of source code away into
the public domain with X10 and X11 development.  What makes you suspicious
now???
