$1000 is a fee for the source license- available to anyone.
You decide whether or not that's expensive.

The only time you have to pay royalties to OSF is if you copy the 
libraries or the window manager.  Applications built using the toolkit
(and UIL) are royalty-free.  There is no run-time license for Motif :-)

BTW, I believe that AT&T is charging $1000 for Xt+ source.
I don't know what their licensing policy is...
