I compiled Mosaic for 1.0_BETA; you can get it from ftp.csos.orst.edu, in
/pub/NetBSD/misc/...

Well, some of us get it from work :-)  But I remember a post by a guy who was
selling a binary Motif kit for Net/FreeBSD and Linux for $150; you could get
it from him.

I think money is the only issue, but it's certainly enough ... a source license
was pretty expensive last time I looked :-)

There was a project to do a general replacement for Motif ... haven't heard
much about it lately.
