According to the post that I made about Qt4 toolkit and the comments I have seen about it, here are a few clarifications.

  • Mac OS isn't concerned about that change. Cocoa and CoreAnimation will remain native.
  • Qt4 is GPL for all platforms and VLC will stay GPL for all platforms. It wasn't like that before, but it is now true.
  • On linux and Unix, both GUI, wx and Qt can still be compiled, so if you want a GTK only desktop, you can still use wxGTK. However, we only support and fix Qt GUI. So if you don't like Qt for religious reasons, you can have it otherwise.
  • On windows, only Qt interface will be shipped by default. If you need the wx dll, you can ask it for the first new versions, especially because there can be some regressions.
  • BeOS isn't concerned since the trunk doesn't compile on gcc2.95
  • Finally, some people are working on a GTK interface.

I hope that the troll will calm down.
