From the press release:

In keeping with its commitment to support standards, AT&T said
that as they  become  accepted, the company would support APIs
for emerging standard interfaces.  AT&T also will license source
code for the various toolkits supporting the OPEN LOOK user
interface.

The OPEN LOOK user interface toolkits are scheduled to be available in
source form in early 1989.
