Source is available for libxview and libolgx, although I don't know whether the final version was made available.  However, AFAIK it is _not_ (freely) available for OpenLook Intrinsics (OLIT) library (libXol, I think that is).

There used to be something originated by USL for UnixWare, called MoOLIT, which was a version of the OLIT library but with runtime-selectable OpenLook or Motif look-and-feel.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoOLIT
Not sure if MJM still has that, it's not on their current web site.  But some years back, when it was already gone from there, I'd asked them, and they still had it.  Don't think they were selling source licenses though, but binaries of the library (and headers, presumably, if the existing ones weren't sufficient).
