"OpenLook" was an AT&T creation that Sun adopted when they went SysV. Their
implementation is (was) called OpenWindows (capitalization?).

There is a freeware library from Sun called XView (v3.2) that comes with
two window managers (olwm and olvwm, see also
	<http://www.PLiG.org/xwinman/olvwm.html> )
and basically implements OpenLook l&f.

Apparently, programming against the XView API is a lot easier than against
the Motif API. XView was quite popular in linuxtown for some time and was
used for tools like xvmount, workman. The above url has a reference to an
ongoing file manager project.
