Perhaps, but don't get your hopes up.  The MacOS that they're
licensing is the one for the PowerPC.  We'll need to do a lot of work
before that will be useful.  In addition, Motorola is a *hardware*
company, so it's quite likely that they'll only sub-license to
organizations who are buying their hardware (PPC based motherboards).

After Executor 2 is out the door we'll try once again to talk to
someone in licensing over at Apple.
