If you want something that's not copyleft, look into IV Tools at
http://www.vectaport.com/ivtools/ and if you also care to experiment
with something with some interesting modern concepts but which stopped
development before getting lots of widgets, etc., check out Fresco at
http://www.eupedia.org/fresco.html (The introductory treatises and
docs are well-written and interesting even if you ignore the code.)
(I'm guessing that UNIX would be in a much better state if the X people
had not stopped work on Fresco. We probably wouldn't have had most of
the mostly wasteful competitions between CDE/GNOME/KDE and C/C++ and X11
toolkits. Or at least better competitions between better designs. And
it would have been long ago available for M$Win/UNIX cross-platform
application development. The experimental version has been since at
least '98.)
