CDE, not everyone cup of tea. But I though this might be of use to people so I'm passing it on.
A little while ago, September 2005, I emailed the OpenGroup to ask 'Could you open source CDE please', I received back a positive response from Graham Bird saying that he'd look into it but it would take some time. I followed this up with an email in March this year, in which Graham explained that they'd be unlikely to find the effort to make CDE available, but added that the only things that might cause them to revisit open sourcing CDE would be 'significant demand from the market or the original sponsers'. So for the people in the past, myself included, who have hoped for an open source CDE it seems that the OpenGroup arn't dead set against the idea, but need more of a kick than I can give on my own :) Best Wishes Peter -- Peter Howkins peter.howkins at marutan.net
