Free copies of ELF Motif libraries are no longer available...


For a while, you could download the full CDE, including Motif 2.0,
from Sun Microsystems, for free.

The download included the full ELF Motif library set and all header
files, as well as MWM and all of the other CDE components.


The evidence is still available from Altavista:
