Re: Will the FreeQt foundation actually work?

There was a GPL Qt3 port to Windows. Basically the Qt framework is obviously modular to allow it to be ported to other platforms. So if you have Qt/X11, it's not too much work to make Qt/Mac or Qt/Windows.

In reality Nokia is a hardware company not a software company, so I see them becoming even more free about handing out licenses to Qt.

I personally tried out the Qt3 port to Windows from X11, it was pretty bad, had all kinds of obscure bugs all over the place.

For example, launch another application with QProcess, and watch not being able to control the child process properly on Windows, and having memory leak all over the place.
