NEdit's license was clarified recently to cover this point more clearly: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. In addition, as a special exception to the GNU GPL, the copyright hol- ders give permission to link the code of this program with the Motif and Open Motif libraries (or with modified versions of these that use the same license), and distribute linked combinations including the two. You must obey the GNU General Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than linking with Motif/Open Motif. If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version. (See the files README and COPYRIGHT distributed with NEdit for the entire license.) If you are a contributor to NEdit and have any problems with this clarification, please contact the developers at develop@nedit.org so we can discuss this.
