It would be interesting to hear why they didn't pick something like Qt.
- 72deluxe 13y agoPerhaps to control their own destiny? They don't need that many controls. Only buttons, tabs and text boxes.
- Touche 13y agoHow does using an open-source UI framework surrender control? Seems far more likely NIH is the answer.
- 72deluxe 13y agoQt is not truly open source for other platforms though is it?
- Touche 13y agoWhat do you mean "other platforms"? Qt is GPL, or am I wrong?
- PuercoPop 13y agoAlthough you are technically wrong, it is LGPL, you are right. It is dually-licensed, but it doesn't vary according to the target platform.
- ptx 13y agoIn the olden days, only the X11 version was open source, but it was made available under the GPL on all supported platforms with Qt 4 and under the LGPL with Qt 4.5.
