Motif is a commercial product put out by the OSF (Open Software Foundation).

Motif 1.2.x is available from a variety of suppliers including ourselves,
but the only Motif for Linux on CD (currently) is the new SWiM 2.0, which is
a port of the new Motif version 2.0.

This CD will be available in about 3 weeks and will list for $199, although
you may find it for less.

We have SWiM-Motif 2.0 available on diskette (6) at an introductory offer of
$175 that includes 160 pages of printed docs, and the CD as soon as it
becomes available.  

Watch comp.os.linux.announce for availability of this CD.

In all cases: source for Motif and the libraries are not (legally) available.  

Hope this helps.

Cheers,  Bob.
