Common Desktop Environment released as open source

Original: Common Desktop Environment available now as open-source

The Common Desktop Environment, the classic Unix graphical desktop originally developed in the 1990s, has been made available as open-source software, with a project hosted on SourceForge. The news has drawn attention from long-time Unix users and developers reminiscing about the once-standard corporate desktop and discussing its historical significance and potential for modern use.

Why now: Nostalgia and historical interest among Unix and open-source communities in a famous proprietary desktop becoming freely available
