But are you implying, by analogy, that if I were to write a program using GTK+ that the application would be forced to be under GPL? So I can't write a closed-source GNOME program? Or is GTK under LGPL? Anyhow, I see little problem with the Qt model. If I'm writing a closed-source commercial app that I'm going to sell, it's no skin off my nose to pay TrollTech a little money to use their toolkit, considering that I'm probably going to need some support anyhow. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
