Re: how about native Cocoa KDE port?

Really? Now, how do you reason? So you mean that if a "big company" uses a toolkit, that means success? That is not how I define success.

If these "big companies" use free toolkits at their will, to develop kick ass commercial apps, without contributing much back, then what will happen? This will surely be the knife on the throat for open source apps.

> anyway, KDE free of GPL will be better in my oppinion for the adoption
Is this really the "adoption" you wants? Think again please. Open source development is at risc here.
