The only OPEN LOOK release I know of on the X11R4 release tape is called
"XView" and, as you note, it's not public-domain.  It *is* free, and
available in source form, however.

The basic difference between it and the XView you get with Open Windows
2.0 is that the one on the X11R4 tape is XView 1.0 and the one you get
with OW 2.0 is XView 2.0.  The one you get with OW 2.0 is, I think,
still available in source form, for free, for FTPing from
"export.lcs.mit.edu" and also available from assorted other archives. 
(It was on "expo" at one point; I assume it's been moved to "export" and
that Sun hasn't yanked it back.)
