Slashdot? :-)

"HP will continue to deliver CDE as the default desktop for HP-UX. 
 GNOME v1.4 is available for HP-UX on both the PA and IPF platforms

 There are currently no plans for GNOME 2.0 on HP-UX."

They did not switch at one point to GNOME 2.0 (because it was not ready or 
whatever, please don't let interpret/guess (you write "because of concerns 
of Gnome's usability"?). No "return", there was no GNOME default before.

You can also only speculate what effort/support they planned at what point
but as you write they are still GNOME Foundation advisory board member
which means they pay to support GNOME.

In general, I'm missing links to the sources of all collected information.

They didn't fork. The created a product based on it.

Bye,
