In that case, I know UIUC has a license to Motif (not sure if they
have gotten 2.0.1 yet) and they distirbute patches for compiling under
Linux. Unfortunately, I don't know if it's legal to distribute those
patches. If you visit http://www.uiuc.edu, you might be able to find
who you could e-mail to get those patches. I will do some asking
around here to see if I can't find out who could do that...
