  I believe the total licinese fees for V.4, OpenLook, Motif, multiuser

  I haven't seen one for free, either. But for less than $1k you can get
the Dell, which includes runtime, development, man pages, GNUemacs, MH,
pbmplus, X with all the popular window managers and libraries, etc.

  If you're not looking for "something for nothing" that looks pretty good.
