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
