Kontact is Qt based, but as far as I know there is no Qt requriement when developing a Kolab client. > not every enterprices like to opensource they technique They don't have to distribute their code as long as they use is purely internally > and even so, according to QT licence you must pay if you are getting benefits of QT in your enterprice No, you are mixing that with the Qt/non-commerical licence for Windows. Qt/Free as available on Unix/Linux and OS X is at least licenced under GPL and GPL does not allow such a restriction.

Exactly, and since 90% of the world pc users use Windows, they are atached to this license, that's the big problem.

Kolab runs on Unix/Linux systems, the communication with the server does not require Qt, so there is no need to use Qt on Windows if you want to access the Kolab server. Very likely the most used Kolab client under Windows is currently Outlook with one of the connector plugins.

That's the answer I needed, thank you.

You've just reached his point. :D [ Reply To This | View ] Re: Evolution is better for enterprices... by Kevin Krammer on Monday 31/Jan/2005, @13:57 How so? His point is that Kolab can't be successful because he thought it would put a Qt dependency on its usage, which it does not as I explain and what he acknowledge. So this means we have reached the point where we both agree that Kolab is going to be successful because it can be used by a number of different clients on different systems, even allowing the use of already deployed clients and just changing the PIM server.
