Thank you for maintaining this valuable resource. I notice that the GIT repository does not have tags for the releases after 2.3.5. Thanks again.

The classic. I still use MWM and libXm to this day. Great to see this has finally been GPL'd.

Good, but several years too late as an open source project.

Light weight, well documented and flexible. Works great on Linux and OS X.

Xmt - Motif Tools
Xmt is a Motif Tools library. The Xmt Motif Tools library provides developers of user interfaces tools that make Motif easier to use. Xmt consists of the core library of additional widgets, utility programs, docs, tutorials, and example code.
LessTif and Motif Extension Library
Xlt, the LessTif/Motif Extension library, is a set of widgets that make programming with the Motif API easier as it adds a set of frequently used tools.
LessTif
For a long time motif has been the de-facto standard widget set in the professional world. This had one major issue, and that being that the source of motif was not free. We, the Hungry Programmers implemented a replacement called lesstif under a free license to provide a way to use free programs written for the motif widgetset. In 2012, the motif source has been relicensed to LGPL, making the lesstif source redundant and obsolete, as its goal has been achieved, a free motif. As lesstif is practically unmaintained and has serious bugs in the copy/paste realm, I advice to use the Motif source instead of this source. LessTif is a free (LGPL) clone of Motif (also known as OSF/Motif). It is a set of widgets for developing graphical user interfaces. Motif is the most widespread such widget set, supported by most commercial UNIX vendors. LessTif is a free alternative.
