No.. Petusus did no such thing. The license of OpenMotif is the problem.
OpenMotif is not compatible with Fedora's license guidelines. Its grossly
unfair to "point the finger" at a Fedora contributor for that. Fedora is
certainly not the first to drop the use of OpenMotif and port apps to use
LessTif and I doubt it will be the last.
