Re: Qt's success
by Don on Wednesday 01/Sep/2004, @22:54

As I've stated on the kdepim list I would like to see KDE running on Windows. Given that Qt is a cross platform toolkit it does make a lot of sense from a technical standpoint.

Unfortunately GPLing Qt on Windows would have a significant unfavourable financial repercussion on TT. This is not mere speculation but based on the post GPLing X11/OSX sales data.

But I'm not too worried. Given the progress of the cygwin and related projects I think it's only a matter of time before a native MSVC/MinGW KDE port is available on Windows.

Just speaking for myself based on knowledge I believe to be non-confidential.
