NOT TRUE !

Shared library support is not in the OSF sources for Motif. However, several
people have successfully built shared library versions of Motif, and are
selling them. [I am one of them.]

We have OSF/Motif shared libraries for Suns.
For more information about our offering, please contact Jean-Pierre Mesozy
(jpm@sunbim.be).

It is true that most, if not all, software vendors currently aren't shipping
their applications with shared library support yet...
