The the motif window manager is a licensable tool.  Disk 15 contain gwm, 
which can emulate the look and feel of mwm and other wm's.

If you want the real motif mwm and libraries, you'll have to convince
a binary vendor to port it to linux.  I have some friends that work
for such a vendor.  Do anyone think it would be worthwhile to port
motif to Linux.  Considering the OSF would get the first $40 of the
sale, how much would you be willing to pay for a copy?

ghostscript and ghostview, of course.  Availalble in source from your
favorite gnu site.  Doesn't appear to be built for linus.
