170.0. "Licensing XUI/DECwindows for non-Digital platforms" by SDSVAX::SWEENEY (Roads? Where we're going we don't need..roads) Thu Feb 09 1989 12:55

    On August 4, 1988, the press releases went out that we intended to
    license XUI to independent software vendors for inclusion on
    non-Digital platforms.
    
    Has this publicly stated intention been withdrawn or modified?

170.1YES, XUI Source Kits Are a GO!CURIE::ONEALThu Feb 09 1989 14:3612
    Craig (SMURF::)Lamont of ULTRIX Product Management is handling this.
    ISV's desiring this should go through their sponsoring PMG's (Product
    Marketing Groups) or through the 800-DEC-ISVN tel. # (run by Steve
    Tocman's/Mike Mancuso's Independent Software Vendor Group) to get this
    source code kit.
    
    My understanding from Craig, is that his is a low-volume interim
    solution, available only until OSF's MOTIF product is available
    sometime this Summer.

    I'll be sending all of this to Craig Lamont in a moment.  (And if a get
    his response, and his permission to post, I will do so here)
    
    But does anyone know how sales reps and basically the public are going
    to learn of this?
    
    I mean how does an ISV who saw the press stories six months ago learn
    the procedures for obtaining XUI?
