Xinuous (the company birthed from SCO's ashes) has announced its new OpenServer X operating system. It is described as a "mature and proven 64-bit operating system to support your most critical line of business applications, yet is affordably priced to host all computing needs", and it is "the continuation and consolidation of all previous Xinuos product families, SCO OpenServer® 5 & 6 and SCO UnixWare® 7".
According to the announcement,
Beginning with OpenServer X, the download and installation of the operating system is offered free of charge by Xinuos and includes the source code. A support bundle is available for customers who need affordable support, maintenance, upgrades and access to the tested Xinuos Application Collection. The support is available 24/7 by default at a highly competitive price.
Also announced is the Xinuos Business One Developer Program,
The new program is designed to assist developers who wish to port existing applications or build new applications to run on OpenServer X™, their recently announced secure, BSD-based open source operating system. Application developers and other partners who need applications that run on the OpenServer X operating system can join the Xinuos Business One Developer Program and benefit from a growing number of resources to assist them at every stage of their business.

Holy shit! I'll finally be able to use CDE in style! Party like it's 1985!
From Wikipedia [wikipedia.org]:
After many years as proprietary software, Motif was released in 2012 as free software under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
Oh… and there it is in my repo…

The other benefit of CDE is to piss off the UX-tards of the world.
