The point was trying to make was that unless you want to shell out $$, using Qt mandates that you GPL your code. What if you want to develop something under BSD, MIT/X, or LGPL license instead? The point is that GTK (under the LGPL) and wxWidgets (under a modified LGPL) provide more fexibility to the developer. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
