I'm not onto content yet... but I had a quick look to see the comment on
Motif.

It's wrong. The original FAQ is the definitive answer:
===
The rights granted under this license are limited solely to distribution
and sublicensing of the Contribution(s) on, with, or for operating
systems which are themselves Open Source programs. Contact The Open
Group for a license allowing distribution and sublicensing of the
Original Program on, with, or for operating systems which are not Open
Source programs.
===
Windows NT/9x/ME 2000 are not open source programs. Thus there is no
permission from the open group for Motif.
