The rumor that *I* heard was that Intersystems would be distributing it
under the same terms as the original Sun agreement.

It is really a shame that sane human beings have to deal at all with
this company (Sun). To paraphrase President Bush, Sun's handling of the
Open Windows source announcements seem to be nothing more than a "cruel
hoax." At the management level I can't see that this company has any
talent, whatsoever.
