Sun and AT&T have products developed to the SAME "Look and Feel"
specification that we developed jointly (from a Sun prototype).
The implementations are different -- AT&T offers OPEN LOOK on a
base of Xt intrinsics, our Xt+ product.  Sun's implementation is
based on XView.  Note that UNIX SVR4.0 includes both the Xt+
offering *and* XView, and I believe that Sun also offers both
imlementations, as well as providing XView to the contrib side
of the X tapes available from MIT. 

proclaimer: I don't know how to capitalize XView.  Practically
every word above is tradmarked by somebody or other; specifically
OPEN LOOK and UNIX are registered tradmarks of AT&T (or probably
now of USL, for whom I work.)
