This is from the comp.windows.x.motif FAQ, which you can get at (from the
FAQ):
Answer: A number of FAQ's (including this one) are available for anonymous ftp
at pit-manager.mit.edu, 18.172.1.27 under the directory pub/usenet. (Motif is
under pub/usenet/comp.windows.x.motif)
Subject: 7)* Where can I get Motif?
An OSF/Motif source license must be obtained from OSF before source can be
obtained from the Open Software Foundation. Call the Direct Channel Desk at OSF
at 617-621-7300 or email direct@osf.org for ordering information. In addition
to the full Motif source, "option C" allows you to purchase source for the
window manager mwm to run on X terminals.
The basic answer is that since I don't think anyone is selling Motif
binaries for 386bsd (can anyone correct me on this?) you have to buy a
source license through OSF. Depending on what you are doing it will
either be $2000 or $15,000, last I heard.
