OPen Source MOTIF for Open Source OS???

[Suhaib Siddiqi]

I have a technical question here.

What about Cygwin, which is GPL (i.e. Open Source), and makes UNIX
applications run/port on Windows
Operating System.  However, without Cygwin the applications compiled
with Cygwin cannot be executed on Windows.  Cygwin
(http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin) completely satisfy Open Source
requirements.

Can the OpenMOTIF be compiled using Cygwin on Windows and distributed?

I would argue that it is the layer acting like the OS that needs to be open,
not
necessarily everything down to the microcode. For example, Intel's
microcode is certainly not an open source system and Linux runs on it. NT
when its hosting
Cygnwin should be consider equivalent to that microcode.
