Is there anything we can do to maybe block the release of new Qt versions, so that the BSD poison pill clause is triggered? Then we can start over from a BSD license, and maybe get other custodians of the code base? Qt is currently catering to automotive companies, and those sales allow them to neglect other markets. I hope they circle back and get there market segments they have been neglecting. My company abandoned commercial use of Qt as we were in a neglected market segment... Rewrote the app native on each platform. It was painful, but stuffiness routing the band-aid off quickly is the way to go. I've been lurking hoping to hear good things about QT6 but it looks like The decision to go native was the right one. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
