What is Open Motif? How does it differ from standard Motif?
For the current stable 2.1.30 release, aside from some different copyright and license statements, both Motif and Open Motif share the same functionality and source code. The primary difference between Open Motif and the commercial product is the software license. Open Motif source code and binaries can be distributed royalty free under The Open Group Public License as long as the operating system upon which Open Motif is running meets the OSI’s Open Source Definition. Motif is made available under the standard Open Group software licenses and requires the payment of source code and royalty fees.
