Gee... not even if it mean you would have, legally:
o IBCS2 shared libraries
o ELF linkable Motif headers and libraries
o Mwm and other Motif programs that will run on any
system capable of running IBCS2 code
o A working X.desktop
o A working sample implementation of Streams, with header
files, for interoperability testing
o A working SMP implementation to stare at
o ActiveX and DLL support
o A copy of Wintif
o Visual Tcl
o A sample GUI administration implementation
o Email (Zmail?) and calendar programs
o The install scripts missing from BSD and Linux IBCS2 support
o A working NetWare file and print client sample
And so on...
At $0, or $19 with CDROM, the Motif alone is probably worth it...
