For now yes, LTS versions only are affected.
But, nobody can be certain for the next day.
Of course not. A virus or a meteor can wipe out the human race. Whatever can happen.
However I don't see any signs or reasons why QT would kill its open source license. Its dual license has proven to be symbiotic and it continues to be so. QT might be the best example of such a symbiotic dual license.
Qt, has always been a FOSS nightmare.
No it hasn't. Such FUD was spread already some 20 years ago althougth QT's license was very clear. Apparently the same FUD continues.
Please note that the only Desktop that uses it, is actually KDE, not very famous in Linux FOSS Communities, in fact they do not want to depend on any Qt.
Really? What GUI library they want to use instead? Do you have links for details?
KDE is among the 3 most famous desktops. I don't know what you mean by "not very famous".
So, I believe that GTK3 must change it's stage from Alpha.
I guess you mean LCL-GTK3 bindings. The only thing slowing down its development is lack of developers willing to improve it. Please remember, this is a volunteer project. Nobody gets paid. If there was a commercial company supporting the development (with a dual license of LCL maybe), things would be different.
Patches are welcome!
Trying to speed up LCL-GTK3 development is understandable but why did you connect the FUD against QT into it?
I will give an answer to all points.
KDE it may appears to be among the 3 most used Desktops, but such things may change and are not always as the way they appear to be.
In FOSS community, we have repeatedly mentioned the doubt for Qt, due to it's history and policy and is not a FUD.
I am not ironic, or anything else, when mentioning about the next day, but stating instead, what may follows.
I have referred to GTK3 in general, ok, but I meant the LCL-GTK3 bindings as my main point, I admit.
But also fails the Lazarus build with it.
And of course I know that it is a volunteered project and for this reason I am trying to spread it's usage more, directly to Linux Distributions, where I am a member of the development team.
The fact that you find the license ok, does not mean that there are people who do not.
E.g. when Qt made the last statement, I have seen even the rejection of KDE and Qt to be a possibility from Distributions.
Therefor I made my first question to this place.
If not here, where?
