I remember someone here made a detailed list of how lots of the early linux FOSS stuff was essentially ripoff of unix software lol. I think XFCE was originally a knockoff of CDE or something with XForms. Now it’s the de facto performance DE and the default on Kali.

XFCE’s old panel was a distinct mimic of CDE’s. I liked it…
But now CDE is open source and NsCDE gives you the same look with a highly customised fvwm config if you don’t want to stick to the Motif universe.
KDE’s name was a direct rip off of CDE’s name
