Motif is not free. The members of the Open Software Foundation sell it
as a product.  You can buy the source for approximately $1000. The
intention is that vendors will buy the source and build it on their
hardware and then sell/give it to their customers for a lesser price.

If you read back through previous message on comp.windows.x you will see
plenty of messages about Motif. In fact, this is the right point to plus
the Frequently Asked Questions message. The X Users Group posts a
message about frequently asked questions at regular interval and it
includes details on obtaining Motif.
