Quote: "Early on we feared a fork in the code. "

This is the biggest problem if we do our own native Windows port of Qt - it
will be a fork of the code. Trolltech's fears would be justified. I don't
think much at all of Trolltech's argument for not releasing their Win32
version of Qt under the GPL however, so I think we should press ahead. Then
again, I'm not a Free Software purist.

Chris
