I found several controlsets for that nice looking ribbons (DotNetBar, DivElements, ...), but all require a license for at least 100 USD. Is there a free controlset that looks quite as nice as the commericial ones?

Might want to take a look at http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2007/08/30/mono-developer-brings-the-ribbon-interface-to-linux

It's for mono, but might be worth a look.

I love open source and am fascinated by the mono project, but I am yet not ready to use GTK for this. ;-) Maybe some day.

You can download the Microsoft WPF Ribbon Control through the Office Developer UI Licence.

It was meant to be released last week.

I'll see if i can dig out a download link.

Edit:

Think this is what your looking for Office Fluent User Interface Developer Portal
