It's Motif on VMS, which is not remotely UNIX-like

eventually HPE got tired of dealing with VMS customer requests and sold the rights to VMS Software Inc, who ported it from Itanium to x86 as soon as humanly possible

now VMS Software Inc, is stating that they wish to support ye olde DECWindows and Motif on the modern, x86-enabled VMS

Late reply, but

> VMS, which is not remotely UNIX-like

OpenVMS was UNIX-certified, so it's like UNIX enough to have the trademark.

Of course the UNIX stuff ran on top of the VMS stuff, and the early 1990s X11 stuff run on top of that. You can run CDE on Windows or Mac too, I don't see what's interesting about it.
