"That's just a fanboy response." No -- it's the response of someone who
has been using Linux for over ten years, who was there when motif was okay
to develop GPL applications against, and Qt not, who maintains a large
free application, who likes his software and his platform free
and who is sick and tired of the kind of arguments you put forward.
Because, in the end, it's the GPL zealot who started Gnome who's now
hankering after proprietary software, not the people who set out to write
a free desktop and still do that.
