Mwm is "owned" by the Open Software Foundation.  You have to license
source from them, for a fairly hefty fee.  I have switched to
fvwm, which I believe to be better in most respects.  I think
it is somewhere in the freeBSD tree, I started with sources from
I forget where...  This is a replacement for mwm only, not the
required libraries to write motif applications.  There are rumors
of several projects to clone the motif libs, I would be grateful
if anyone could steer me to an ftp site for any of them...
