Tcl/Tk, which is free software, is designed to resemble the look and
feel of Motif (though there are, at present, many deviations, it is
getting closer all the time).

In the past I've seen messages from GNUites saying "Don't use Motif".
But you don't need to use Motif, or pay anyone for a Motif license, to
use the good ideas in it, as the OSF is not attempting to assert that they
own the look-and-feel (only the Motif software).
