The article is wrong.  We are definitely NOT abandoning the
X Widgets.  Part of the CXI user interface is the X Widget library.

HP will produce an R3 product version of the X Widgets.  We are not
ready to publically commit to providing a public domain version
of that software, yet.  However, the odds are good that we will provide
such a public domain version.
