This exists. It's called wxWidgets. It's an API shim over native components plus some convenience classes for abstracting out OS-specific functionality. It's LGPL with static linking exception, so no DLL hell.
I'm not quite sure what you mean by open spec, but it's just an API not a protocol, and uhhhh.... https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-supreme-court/18-956.html https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-supreme-court/18-956.ht...
- mjevans 2y agoThe library exists, BUT it is NOT shipped natively and NOT (AFAIK) something which trying to run a random downloaded utility app will trigger the system library loader prompting for the 'common wxWidgets runtime, for free, codesigned by Microsoft' download and install from the store to run the app.

DLLs are not useful for statically linked binaries.
