Yes it's true. Motif is commercial and as far as I know, there are no free
implementation of Motif.

However, there is a free _clone_ of Motif call Lesstif. You can find it at
http://www.lesstif.org

Unfortunately, Lesstif is currently not Motif 2.0 Compliant. You may still want
to give it a shot, but your chances of getting the programs to work under
Lesstif are rather poor.

Motif based software are generally not very popular in the open software
communitee. If you really can't get the programs to work with Lesstif, try
searching for a port or an alternative program that uses one of the free
toolkits.
