Of course there is always Open Look.  The XView implementation source code is
available from expo.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/xview*, as well as other sites.  I
am not sure if there are any legal limitations on what you can do it with (but
given that AT&T/Sun would like to see it become a standard, I can't see that
you'd get any flack for using it).

I haven't used Motif, so I can't comment on it.  I have used XView, and its
predecessor, SunView, and like their style of programming alot.  Perhaps the
FSF could examine the legal implications (if there are any) of doing Open Look
development and, if they find no problem, give it the FSF blessing.
