> Now if we could only get a licence to distribute binary releases ... :/

We (members of the FreeBSD/JDK team) have signed licenses that allow us
to make 'WWW' binary releases (the older license was a bit more
stringent, but made it so I feel comfortable enough making public binary
releases).

However, building a version of the JDK that has Motif included in it
(which now has to be done inside a shared library) requires that a
custom version of Motif be built, in order to fully satisfy the Motif
licensing issues.  Using LessTif is not an acceptable solution.

This was what stopped me in August/September of last year, and there has
been no progress since then...
