I'm over 1100 emails behind here, so please excuse me if I'm repeating
what someone else said.
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.
