-           supported, but do so when compiled against Motif, then two
-           versions of the package should be created; one linked

-           Both Motif-linked versions are dependent

-           software is itself DFSG-compliant it may be uploaded to
-           the <em>contrib</em> distribution.  While known existing
-           versions of Motif permit unlimited redistribution of
-           binaries linked against the library (whether statically or
-           dynamically), it is the package maintainer's
-           responsibility to determine whether this is permitted by
-           the license of the copy of Motif in their possession.
