No, that's controlled by The Open Group, although the members
(of which Sun is only one) that contributed may have something
to say about it too.

Unless you're a university or non-profit research organization, you may
not want to spend that much!
Note: Sun's CDE is AFAIK _not_ CDE 2.1, although it has many but not
all of the features, as well as a lot of Sun-specific add-ons and
improvements (or at any rate changes).
FYI, there is a petition at
http://www.petitiononline.com/opencde/petition.html
requesting The Open Group consider open-sourcing CDE. More info on
that at http://www.marutan.net/cde/
Here's a response when I asked what might happen if CDE was opened:

thats too bad, I maybe one of the last people left to say I prefer CDE.
