   I had to dig for it, but I finally found my copy of the MetaWINDOW 
license agreement.  With standard MetaWINDOW, TurboWINDOW and
QuickWINDOW you are allowed to redistribute the resident graphics
driver, fonts, and print-screen utilities with no added fees or
royalties.  But, you must provide copyright credit in your documentation
(fair enough).
   When using MetaWINDOW/PLUS or MetaWINDOW/PREMIUM libraries in your
code, three different agreements are available:

   1. Pre-Paid - determine, up front, how many unit you will sell and
      pay:
             $2000.00 for 1000 copies or less
             $4000.00 for 5000 copies or less
             $6000.00 for 10,000 copies or less

   2. Incremental Object Code License - this is the pay as go plan:

             $2000.00 for the first 1000 copies you sell
             $3000.00 more for the next 4000 copies (1001 to 5000)
             $5000.00 more for the next 5000 copies (5001 to 10000)
             $5000.00 more if you sell more then 10,000

   3. Fully Paid-Up Object Code License:
             Pay $10,000.00 up front and you can distribute as many copies 
             as you want.

   Disclaimer: I paraphrased this from a document which is one or two years
old;  I don't guarantee this information to be accurate or complete.
