    We are students at the University of Colorado, Boulder.  We are working on
    a senior project that requires the use of c++, X Windows, and OSF/Motif.

The Free Software Foundation would like to suggest you reconsider this
idea.  Using Motif makes the program unnecessarily dependent on
proprietary software, so that (for example) it would be impossible for
users that have obtained the free X Windows distribution from MIT will
be unable to run it.

In particular, if your program turns out to be a useful tool, the fact
that it uses Motif will make it useless for the GNU project.

So use a free toolkit instead, and write a program that everyone can use.
