To me the message didn't sound like a manifest but more like an info (to make the change smooth)?
Therefore I guess that people that know QT just don't care about speculating about that (why now/before/later, who cares) - of course this info will be remembered if in the future problems arise.
- Rochus 4y agoThere has been quite a bit of controversy over the direction of Qt. I've been working with Qt for more than twenty years and find the news pretty amazing, as no doubt do many others. With Qt 6, the company has entered similar waters as the developers of Wayland: building something with a lot of effort, that is functionally only marginally different from the established technology, but significantly less mature.
- zepearl 4y agoThx - I used only Qt3 and for a short time Qt4. I liked the dual-license approach, but apparently it's not as "pure" as I thought was?
- Rochus 4y agoQt4 is/was much better than Qt3; and Nokia made it available to everyone under LGPL which was sensational; Qt5 mostly improved modularity and platform abstraction; after the Nokia aera, Qt has given itself a bit of an orientation log, adding features in all sorts of directions that didn't necessarily add to the core proposition, but increased complexity and development effort, without adequate value in my view.
- zepearl 4y agoThanks! Interesting :)
