LessTif is the Hungry Programmers' version of OSF/Motif®. LessTif is source compatible with OSF/Motif® 1.2, meaning that the same source should compile with both and work exactly the same. LessTif is licensed under the GNU Library General Public License (LGPL). For further information on the LGPL, see the GNU web site. You might also want to check out The Open Source Web for a little more information about the Free Software/Open Source philosophy.

Latest LessTif News
For some time now, LessTif distributions contain not only the Motif® clone, but also a set of utility widgets mostly authored by Rick Scott. This widget set is called Xlt. From now on, the LessTif CVS also contains the well known Xbae widget set, and we'll be distributing both Xbae and Xlt as separate distributions. We now also have web pages for the Xbae widget set and for Xlt.
We're very close to getting the Netscape Navigator to work, dynamically linked to LessTif instead of Motif®. This is called binary compatibility and it looks like we can do it after all.
