Well, I stand corrected, I guess there is a version of Motif available,
although 1.1.2 is fairly old at this point.  I think 1.2.1 came out
recently or will be out soon.  Unfortunately, the licensing got much
steeper as of 1.2.  Which leads to my feedback.

I would be quite interested in a PD version of Motif, but I'm also 
curious what version of Motif they are claiming compliance with.
Both the documentation and the functionality of the code have
changed and continue to change.  Not to mention the correctness of
OSF/Motif...

Thanks,
Matt
