I suspect that the "Redhat is going to stop shipping Motif" is really old news about Fedora. Several years ago, Fedora adopted a strict requirement that all software that is shipped should be under an open source license recognized by the "OSI".
A member of the OpenMotif team is actually an employee of Red Hat... And we are continuing to get contributions from him.
