No; this is from the Sun annoucement:

   There are no royalties for distributing applications developed with
   OpenWindows.  Hardware vendors will pay nominal royalties for systems
   they resell that run the OpenWindows environment.

This doesn't explicitly cover software operations that resell binaries
with added value, but the above two cases are the same for Motif.
