That's correct.

We tried to get BISS-AWT over to GPL, but that didn't work with BISS. Besides,
BISS-AWT was/is meant to be a widget-replacement/extension framework (pretty
mutch like Swing, but lean) rather than a stand-alone AWT implementation
(which it was only to a certain extent).

It's still alive in a sense that Joerg and I use it for our own purposes (and
occasionally fix - remarkably few - problems). It's basic ideas might live up
again in a future reimplementation (I still believe there is a need for a
"light weight" Swing-alternative).
