Sounds like you need to read the gpl friend. theKomapny owns the code and can licence it anyway they want.

Does the Kompany owns Quanta code ?
what is the Xp screenshot, a port of qt ?
I don't want to blame this product, I think this is really a good news but I would like to be sure that it is not vaporware or something.
Thanks

Quanta used to be Free but some of the developers decided to go commercial with it and relicensed it. I guess theKompany was the company that got it.

QT has always been available for Windows, and won't require any porting to work under XP. Any 100% QT-native program (such as these office programs) will work on any of QT's platforms with a simple recompile (theoretically).

And practically!

As a Qt-windows licence holder, I confirm this. It took 1 day to make a 30000 lines unix Qt program compile under windows, and one week to make it link :-), because we were not experienced with windows lib/dll stuff. Now, it would link the same day it compiles.

I'm interested in this, what build setup were you using?

I'm trying to figure out what I can use as a build environment that will work on both windows and unix with QT apps, and I'm getting the impression that (barring building with cygwin/gcc) autoconf doesn't do this very well? I'd love to be wrong :-)

It's no joke. It's a Qt based program (Kivio) so ports to other OS's are no longer just a thought.

I was working the Hancom booth during the show. We had HancomSheet running on an iPaq -- handheld. Hancom told me the port took them about four hours.

Believe it -- a robust multi-platform office is on the way. As I was telling the press representatives "HancomOffice 2.0 is the camel's nose in the Microsoft tent."
