I said this a couple of days ago, but it didn't appear in xpert,
and Bruce Barnett asked a similar question today.
So if you see this twice I'm sorry.

About Sun's OpenWindows Source announcement

AT+T ( now USL) and Sun agreed to "cross-licence" their X source code, 
so paying $1000 to USL gets you a source licence for all the components of
the OW2 source kit that aren't already freeware.

That is the situation as I understand it. 
Oh, USL admit that it isn't free, another bonus!
