- No way. Motif is not shareware, copy-left or public domain - it is a
- commercial product, and a distribution license costs heaps. Universities
- can buy a source license for their site at $2000, for other
- organisations it is $20000. What you need to do if this cost is not
- acceptable is probably to try to pursuade one of the companies already
- distributing Motif binaries to knock up a copy for you - and I don't
- fancy your chances!
