XGRASS requires an installed copy of the Motif libraries to compile, but
not to run. From what I gather, you need a Motif runtime license to run
*legally*, though, even if the libraries are not required technically.

Could somebody who knows about Motif licensing *please* post a definitive
answer to this legal question? Or could somebody interested in Motif call
the Open Software Foundation and find out, and post their answer?
