ummmm. most of the source code IS available in the free version. The difference between the free linux version source and the windows source are a few files.
The only reason why you would want to use the LGPL, is that you want to keep your code proprietary and to yourself.
Qt is superior to gtk because it is created by professional developers, not college students.
Perhaps if you did some research into Trolltech's licenses you would figure out that Trolltech has Edu licenses as well.
It's LGPL that is hurting Linux, as Linux is about free software, LGPL is only about proprietary software. Do you really want Linux to have more non free, closed source, proprietary software??
The A760 does not run Qtopia Phone Edition, but uses Qt Embedded and Motorola's own gui interface. Qtopia Phone has not yet been released, but has received wide spread interest. Stay tuned....
since when is Qt not as widely used? Qt is shipped on the Sharp Zaurus. Qt is used by a number of heavyweights, including IBM, and Motorola smart phones.
Opera web browser uses Qt.
I have yet to hear about any strategic alliances between real businesses and gnome. and I can't buy any cool devices using gtk.
But you are mistaken. GNOME allows proprietary, non free non GPL applications. KDE does not. It is KDE that is really more free, and progresses Free Software.
Using UserLinux that ships only GNOME, you will see more and more non free, closed source software.
Bruce, You say you are trying to "advance Free Software in business", yet choose and promote a license who's entire existence is to provide closed source, proprietary software for a free, open source operating system.
To me, this is hypocritical. You are not advancing Free Software in anyway when you choose to use the LGPL (i.e. GNOME). You are advancing closed source software.
Qt is GPL'd, and as such does not allow closed source applications to be developed for free.
What you and your/. anti-trolltech-is-owned-by-sco cohorts dont realize, is that what you are refering to is historical. As in, the company that originally bought into Trolltech, later became the canopy group.
Trolltech is mainly owned by it's employees. Get over it.
Too bad there hasnt been more work done on the armlinux/zaurus/qtopia port for Helix. It could already be there, had someone (real and anyone, for that matter) helped that project out a tad.
Boy, thats a laugh! The Nuclear Industry sure has had their brain washing done on you. To say that Nuclear Power is pollution free is just plain wrong. The pollution created by these power plants has to be securely stored for thousands of years.

I dont think there ever has been a date scheduled for Qt 4 release. Any information you may have gotten about Qt 4, was not official.
Stay tuned...

You were shipped that book in error. Please ship it to me a.s.a.p.
Not that I have heard about.
Buy the book.
Its pronounced however you want it to be.
Personally, I tend to pronounce the letters 'Q. T.". Most developers I know pronounce it 'cute'.

hmm, Opie has a terminal, tabs and keybindings.
I dont see any real benefit for running X on a pda. Unless you like to waste your flash space

Yes, and it runs Trolltech's Qt Embedded http://www.mobileburn.com/gallery.jsp?Id=532
yes, I think we need to get better looking cheerleaders. Perhaps we could recruit some from the Dallas Cowboys

man, if I had moderator status right now..
oh well.

Which toolkit advances Free Software more?
LGPL is only good if you like using nonfree proprietary software.
You are wrong. Only if you want to create closed source, proprietary software do you have to buy a Qt license.
If you prefer closed source software, use GNOME and UserLinux.
If you prefer open source software, use KDE.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
The LGPL is not about free software, it is about proprietary, closed source software.
Linux is all about free, open source software.
I dont see where Bruce and his proprietary ideals fits in.
Like trolltech had control over what became of a company that bought a few shares of trolltech.
That the Canopy group has a "significant stake" is greatly exagerated. The employees have a significant stake in Trolltech..

I am sure in the two years since Sharp released a Qtopia 1.5.4 version, the Qtopia developers have managed to work out quite a few kinks.
Yes, I am sure they will!

is a p4 2.6 gHz that I bought yesterday. :)
Funny you should ask that... codewarrior for Sharp Zaurus
