Hi, I won't engage into any discussions about which desktop is better (for maybe obvious reasons), but let's still put a few facts straight:
> QT HAS A MONOPOLY Depends on what you call a monopoly. Its (IMO) the best available C++ GUI toolkit on X11. In that sense it might have one. > - What if I want to apply a patch QT doesn't like? (I'm not allowed!) Wrong. Qt is under the GPL (since more than 2 years). You're allowed to patch it as much as you want (assuming you GPL your patches). Actually most distributors do that. > - What if QT doesn't want to support it anymore? It's GPL, the community can pick it up and continue developing it. And even more: Once Trolltech stops supporting the community and stops releasing Qt under a free license, the last released version of Qt would automatically fall under a BSD license (meaning you could do more or less anything with it). Read http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faqs/free.html#Q8 for details. > - What if QT suddenly doesn't like SuSE? It is in a position to deny them > of KDE and give their competitors an unfair atvantage No, Qt is GPLed. Btw, the company producing Qt is Trolltech, not QT.
