What my Oracle sales rep told me was that the free runtimes our currently only on windows because that is the only platform where Developer/2000 is currently available. When it becomes available on Mac (early summer is the latest estimate ...) the free runtimes will be available there. As far as Motif, he was less sure about those platforms, but that is not a big concern for us because most of our Motif users do X-windows to our server to run our Forms 4.0 applications.
