If you want something that's not copyleft, look into IV Tools at http://www.vectaport.com/ivtools/ and if you also care to experiment with something with some interesting modern concepts but which stopped development before getting lots of widgets, etc., check out Fresco at http://www.eupedia.org/fresco.html (The introductory treatises and docs are well-written and interesting even if you ignore the code.) (I'm guessing that UNIX would be in a much better state if the X people had not stopped work on Fresco. We probably wouldn't have had most of the mostly wasteful competitions between CDE/GNOME/KDE and C/C++ and X11 toolkits. Or at least better competitions between better designs. And it would have been long ago available for M$Win/UNIX cross-platform application development. The experimental version has been since at least '98.)
