Re: Trolltech: No-Charge License for Qt/Windows

I know, I know and I know and I'm sorry.

I guess I just wanted to try changing your mind. I will respect your wishes of not wanting QT for Win32 to be Free (this sentence is probably not needed, since I still haven't proven that I can do that).

I'm not some envious bastard wanting to ruin a solid business of decent company just because I can. I feel that QT was kind of forced into GPL and I don't like that fact.

The only thing I wanted to achieve here is being able to finally say:

Okay I can use this great cross platform toolkit, I can make win32 apps on my linux box and test them with Wine, I don't have to cope with quirky licences anymore, I'm happy with GPL, and I have a complete control of my Free system. It is now a standard GUI toolkit. Everywhere. Lets move on.

And I really want to be able to witness that a another bar has been raised (as linas, the author of gnucash has nicely put it in http://www.linas.org/theory/freetrade.html).

Anyway, I found a couple of interesting articles on cross platform GUI development at http://www.t4p.com/xplat.htm
and http://www2.linuxjournal.com/lj-issues/issue49/2723.html

Friendly, Vedran
