According to a recent issue of Unix Today, Scott McNealy said in San 
Francisco -- at Uniforum, I assume -- that Sun would be *giving* the 
XView toolkit to "MIT" (which I assume means the X Consortium) for
inclusion in the next release of X11.  

This sounds like exactly the Right Thing To Do.

Would anyone from Sun or the Consortium care to confirm that this is
actually happening?  It just sounds too reasonable to be true, given
the politics of Window Wars :-)
