GNOME to fish in embedded Linux pond (ZDNet UK)
ZDNet UK reports
that efforts are underway to make GNOME more suitable for embedded
applications. "Future versions of GNOME will include improved
compatibility with styluses and performance enhancements, according to
GNOME Foundation director Murray Cumming on Friday. This will include a
focus on the GTK+, a toolkit used by GNOME to create graphical user
interfaces."

GNOME advantage: not just LGPL, but also C Posted Oct 11, 2005 15:35 UTC (Tue) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] The story mentions LGPL as an advantage for GNOME over KDE in the embedded arena. There is another advantage - the GNOME libraries are written in C, which allows linking them with almost any software in any language. KDE, on the other hand, is in C++ from the very core, so any application trying to use KDE libraries should have some understanding of C++ classes.
