Thanks for the pointer. I guess it's time for me to subscribe YAML... 

I have at work some legacy Motif apps: if you think it is useful I could try
rebuilding them against this new package.

Additionally, since in their FAQ [1] I can see:
Q: Will Motif be made Open Source in the future?
A: Yes, we hope to be able to make a distribution under a license complying with
the Open Source guidelines sometime in the future. For now this is as close as
to Open Source as we could get.

maybe we could try to bugging them for a real Open Source release, otherwise it
will be removed from Fedora ASAP
