Commercial Licenses to Motif 2.3.4 Available

The availability of Motif under the LGPL license is great news for the Motif community. However, not all organizations are comfortable using software provided under an Open Source license because:

• Due to misunderstanding of the license or human errors, proprietary software could inadvertently come under Open Source license rules and your company could be forced to publish its source code.
• Open Source licenses lack “Indemnification” for infringing on the intellectual property of a third party.
• The requirement that the “user” could replace the software licensed under the LGPL is unacceptable in mission critical or highly regulated industries such as aerospace or medical devices.
• Some operating environments require static linking (e.g. real time) and complying with the requirements of the LGPL to allow replacement of the library by a third person could be technically difficult to achieve.

ICS is all too familiar with the risks and rewards that can come from using Open Source and we have the solution. We can offer a commercial license for Motif on any UNIX or Linux platform that allows for corporate compliance and makes your job easier. Before you begin your next project, contact us to learn more about commercial licensing and our very reasonable license fees.
