Just on a similar topic for those interested (concerned) about
commercializing their codes, written using xforms. I have had similar
problems, and eventually I switched my code to fltk, not just because of
licensing issues.
For my purpose fltk served four-fold. It is GPLed, all the source is
available (ideal breeding ground for hacking, and code enhancement),
and runs on both X11 and Win32 (natively) machines. Oh, and it is in c++.
I had a 60K+ line code tightly tangled with X, which after a couple of days
of work I managed to port to fltk.

Of course xforms has got other advantages: ready to use library, less
buggy, compiled for many machines, pure C (for OOP haters).

Anyway, both libraries are great.
