However, according to their license:
"The Qt Free Edition is provided under both the Q Public License ("QPL") and
the GPL. This specifies that you may freely use the Qt Free Edition for:
- Running software developed by others (e.g. KDE)
- Development of open source/non-proprietary software"
So you can't use it to develop proprietary software, which you're allowed
to do
with GTK+ (LGPL). It all depends on what your goals are...
Also, it will only run on X1 and I wish to target OS X and Win32 also.
The free version is actually different API calls, so I cannot develop using
the Free edition and then pay for the commercial edition and then deploy.
It would require me to re-write.
