Only if you are committed to keeping your system "RMS approved". I had
no qualms about buying and running commercial software under Linux
including Motif distributions. I see no reason not to use OpenMotif.
While there is a lot of good software released under the GPL I could not
cope with being retsicted to running only free software.
