Packages with non-free licenses that need to be taken out of Fedora Core

openmotif doesn't seems to me to be free enough to be in fedora extras, since it hasn't an OSI compatible licence.


Fedora Core packages dependent on openmotif are xpdf, ddd. tetex-xdvi, mesa-libGLw as stated in the above bug report. If there are many packages dependent on openmotif in Fedora Extras we could do this as a two step process.

* Move all openmotif dependencies and openmotif itself into Fedora Extras
* Fix or drop packages as necessary.

The advantage of moving it into Fedora Extras is that the broader community of packages can work on this and resolve things faster.
