According to the Motif 1.0 licence I have in front of me (which I can't use
because I need 1.1) it says its a $1000 for "each institution located at a
contiguous geographic area with a single mailing address".  I would very
much like to know if this has been lowered (?).  Also from the software
support service agreement it appears that educational establishments also
would have to pay $2500 a year for email / telephone support and
"periodic software updates (dot level releases only)".

Has anyone recently been able to get any reply from "motif-desk@osf.org" ??
I would like to get hold of Motif 1.1 (I take it that it hasn't hit the
streets yet?) but as yet I have heard nothing, (sent 25th June).

I have had to hold back from buying 1.0 because it appears the cheapest
upgrade path would be to spend another $1000 on for a separate source
licence for 1.1 .. surely I must be mistaken?
