Open Group announced today that it is releasing MOTIF code for Open Source
Operating Systems
like Linux etc.
See http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif


Their FAQ explicitely restricts using MOTIF on Operating systems which are
open source.

I sent the following question to Open Group.

>Thanks for making MOTIF OpenSource for Open Source Operating Systems.
>
>I have a technical question here.
>
>What about Cygwin, which is GPL (i.e. Open Source), and makes UNIX
>applications run/port on Windows
>Operating System.  However, without Cygwin the applications compiled
>with Cygwin cannot be executed on Windows.  Cygwin
>(http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin) completely satisfy Open Source
>requirements.
>Can the OpenMOTIF be compiled using Cygwin on Windows and distributed?
