OpenCD 
OpenCD splash screenStable release 7.04[1] Development status discontinued Operating system Microsoft Windows License open source Website http://theopencd.org/ The now defunct OpenCD project aimed to introduce users of Microsoft Windows to the benefits of free and open source software (FOSS). It is a CD image that can freely be downloaded and copied. The OpenCD team screens programs for stability, quality, and ease of installation, and only distributes programs available under an OSI-approved open source license[2], which allows users to freely use and distribute the disc as they wish. It was sponsored by Canonical Ltd., for a period.
The project was started in April 2002 in response to an article on linux.com by astrophysics student Henrik Nilsen Omma.[3]
In September 2007, project lead Chris Gray left the project to pursue his own open source disc, called OpenDisc, citing numerous difficulties[4] which he believed were negatively affecting the progress of the OpenCD project. As of September 27, 2007, the OpenCD project is no longer under active development.[5]
