Editing mistake. I used the original XForms `Readme' as a template
and some of the original text got left in. In cases where my email
and the LGPL conflict, the LGPL takes precedence.

It should read

   It should work under X11 R4, R5 & R6. XForms is free. It is
   licensed under the LGPL (Lesser Gnu Public License) version 2.1.

This has been corrected in the tarball and the FTP `README'.
