</p><p><a href="Red_Hat_Linux" title="Red Hat Linux">Red Hat Linux</a> was the only Linux distribution that proprietary CDE was ported to. In 1997, Red Hat began offering a version of CDE licensed from TriTeal Corporation. In 1998, Xi Graphics, a company specializing in the X Windowing System, offered a version of CDE bundled with Red Hat Linux, called <i>Xi Graphics maXimum cde/OS</i>. These were phased out, and Red Hat moved to the <a href="GNOME" title="GNOME">GNOME</a> desktop.
</p><p>Until about 2000, users of Unix desktops regarded CDE as the <i><a href="De_facto" title="De facto">de facto</a></i> standard, but at that time, other desktop environments such as GNOME and <a href="K_Desktop_Environment_2" title="K Desktop Environment 2">K Desktop Environment 2</a> were quickly becoming mature, and became widespread on <a href="Linux" title="Linux">Linux</a> systems.

<p>From its launch until 2012, CDE was proprietary software.
</p><p>Motif, the toolkit on which CDE is built, was released by The Open Group in 2000 as "Open Motif," under a "revenue sharing" license. That license did not meet either the <a href="Open_Source_Definition" class="mw-redirect" title="Open Source Definition">open source</a> or <a href="Free_software_licence" class="mw-redirect" title="Free software licence">free software</a> definitions. The Open Group had wished to make Motif open source, but did not succeed doing so at that time.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>On October 23, 2012, the Motif widget toolkit was also released under the <a href="GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License" title="GNU Lesser General Public License">LGPL-2.1-or-later</a> license.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This allowed CDE to become a completely free and open source desktop environment.
