Maybe, FreeBSD could include an encrypted version of SWiM or some other
commercial version of OSF/Motif 2.0 so that people who want to buy Motif
would only have to send $99 or $149 or whatever to the vendor and get the
key to decrypt it straight from the FreeBSD CD.  I already know of at
least one Linux vendor which has this sort of thing on their CD-ROM.  Can
anyone pursue this avenue further? 

Also, I already suggested to Jordan that there is an excellent Macintosh
emulator from a company called ARDI (http://www.ardi.com/) which is
currently for DOS/NextStep/Linux and seems to work okay under FreeBSD's
Linux emulator.  I forwarded the FreeBSD announcement on to ARDI, and I
hope they would be willing to put the L*nux version on the FreeBSD CD and
if they get a good response, maybe they will make a FreeBSD-native
version?  One can only hope... :-)
