For example if I write a hello world program in C++ and iostream.h is GPL. Then hello world can't be released unless it also is GPL. See the problem?
Wrong GCC libraries are GPL with an exception, for example
As a special exception, you may use this file as part of a free software library without restriction. Specifically, if other files instantiate templates or use macros or inline functions from this file, or you compile this file and link it with other files to produce an executable, this file does not by itself cause the resulting executable to be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the executable file might be covered by the GNU General Public License.
with all the bugs and optimizations that Sony could have done to all that BSD code? amazing, FreeBSD developers predict the future and fixed and optimizations before the hardware
You still don't get it, every OS release make changes of how widgets behave. One example, OS X "natural" scrolling behaviour, you run and old QT application on that platform and I am sure it will not behave the same way and users notice that. QT developers are good chasing every tiny update OS providers do, that doesn't mean that old applications are updated automatically. All applications need to be updated, specially on Windows and OS X where there isn't a shared QT runtime. If WPF is the new native, I am pretty sure that any modifications Microsoft make to old widgets are added to the new ones because I don't think they want an inconsistent experience for their users (sometimes I think they don't care after Windows 8)
I still write a lot of Java Swing code, so I know custom drawn toolkits have their advantages, if you are a good developer using them, and I am not against what QT do, I am only saying that QT are not native controls (only on platforms where it is the platform toolkit)
Accessibility was an example, I was referring about updates to the OS Widgets not being inherited by QT because QT does not have native widgets. It doesn't matter if Microsoft is doing the same with WPF, QT doesn't have native widgets, plain and simple. is that good or bad? is your call.
QT doesn't have native widgets for any platform, QT draw the widgets with their own code, it only skins them with the platform APIs if they are available, Quoting myself:
Native controls means more than to have the same look, if that is the way to measure "nativeness", then Java Swing UIs (Windows/GTK L&F) are native because they call platform theme APIs.
When a toolkit draw controls by itself, the applications normally lose a lot of UI functionality, for example, if Android/iPhone controls add proper default assistive technology metadata to their controls, the toolkit (QT in this example) need to do the same for each control they draw, because the OS don't see buttons as buttons, It see them as a custom control. If the platform control change behaviour in a new OS release, the QT control will not see it, for example when Windows added default context menus to the text fields, self drawed controls don't expose that behaviour until applications are updated with a new version

Will this new relationship change the way CentOS obtains Red Hat Enterprise Linux source code?
Yes. Going forward, the source code repository at git.centos.org will replace and obsolete the Red Hat Enterprise Linux source rpms on ftp.redhat.com. Git provides an attractive alternative to ftp because it saves time, reduces human error, and makes it easier for CentOS users to collaborate on and build their own distributions, including those of SIGs.
Red Hat has worked with the CentOS Project to establish a merit-based open governance model for the CentOS Project, allowing for greater contribution and participation through increased transparency and access.
so? an executable name tells you it was an autorun? it could have been a USB subsystem buffer overflow or any other vulnerability, or a USB HID device that injected Win_Key+R and typed d:\hack.bat. Many options
It is probably a fake keyboard and mouse device, many of those ATMs run their applications with administrator privileges, so anything can be run with that kind of device
There is a reason Mozilla is hard with the requirements to name a build for Firefox codebase "Firefox", it is their trademark, if you build Firefox and replace Mozilla addons "store" with one that doesn't do reviews (manual or automated) and is filled with malware, I am pretty sure Mozilla will make you use another name. Android is trademarked by Google, Amazon don't call their tablets Android, because they can't. Google is to light allowing forkers to call it Android, tainting their brand
Wrong, use the OS provided keyring (OS X Keychain, GNOME keyring, Windows Credentials API, etc.) that protect your passwords with your local user credentials and only allow direct reading by the application that stored them. It is true that if your computer is compromised passwords are not safe either, but not all compromises have the same kind of access to a decrypt a keyring, but most if not all can read plain text files.
Do you really think everyone that download those applications that enable access to this hidden code know what they are doing? People will download it because they saw it on the media, use it, and go to Google Play and start giving bad reviews for applications that have bad behaviour, and not only crashes, what will happen if the access to the IMEI number is hidden giving fake numbers and for some reason a crap application used that to identify the user and for some reason privacy is broken, accessing data of other users?
Google is very strict with application compatibility on Google Play. I remember they advised the Cyanogenmod team to not enable multi window feature for all applications because not all of them work without problems with dynamic screen sizes and they didn't want to alienate developers on Google Play with bad reviews for something that doesn't follow the Android APIs. There is a reason Samsung multi window feature only works with some applications and not all of them
I still think this a feature that we will see later when better developed and there is a better way to ensure old applications compatibility. We will see then
You can do that, and be an OS with bad reputation or you can be a good OS vendor, and start documenting those changes for future versions, give developers time to update, etc. Quoting Linus Torvalds, "don't break userspace", if you are going to break it, give people time to update
It was never a feature, people access it using a third party application that calls an Activity that is not normally accessible from the OS UI. It is like when people found initial semi-working code of multiple user profiles on Android 4.1, again not accessible to the users, and later releases added the feature when the code was completed and tested. I think we will see this feature enabled on later Android versions when they get to finish it and find ways to make old applications not crash when permissions are removed.
Opposing religion and their political structures is one thing, many god(s) believing people oppose to that too, including mixing religion, government and science. Take a look at some other comments, you will see some words like "ignorant", "moron", "stupid", when they think someone believe in a god, without ever knowing or asking about his or her ideas, the same behaviour of extremist people when someone say believe on another god or none, this is what I call the "anti theist religion".
I seriously challenge those people to call, for example, to the priest Georges Lemaître and ignorant because it was a god believer, and still proposed what became the Big Bang theory, and disapproved that the Catholic church used his work as a way to validate religion
I said "sin" because some of them are very abusive in the way they threat people with religious beliefs, starting with calling or treating them as ignorants. IMO they behave like the worst religious fanatics when they talk about other beliefs
People confuse two groups: atheist and anti theist, the former group doesn't believe in god, the later is a "religion" whose members think that everyone that believe in some kind of God(s) are sinners
Because they aren't violating the current Terms of Service (TOS), but probably will. I expect and update to the Google Play TOS soon. I think it is better to ask for it to be removed instead of not giving any info or giving vague ones (Apple style) of why it is removed.

It is GTK, do GTK use native controls? NO

Can we stop spreading false information about QT?
the native widgets for OS X / Linux / Windows
QT doesn't have native widgets for any platform, QT draw the widgets with their own code, it only skins them with the platform APIs if they are available, Quoting myself:
