Qt is dual-licensed under the GPL3 (with a commercial license available for purchase *for use in non-FLOSS projects* ), I don't know what bizarre rumors you have heard... > .

Like the way they go beyond themes and actually tear away functionality (from, like, everything). Even the utility apps that are developed by Gnome had to go from my laptop, because they looked like they belonged on a smartphone, and had as much functionality. I miss Gnome 2, I really do. But I moved on to Cinnamon back when MATE was in its early days. -- Eli Schwartz
