Re: octave gui & mingw

[Ole Jacob Hagen]

Hi,

Qt4 is dual licensed on ALL supported platforms.
You can freely download Qt4, and develop Qt4 applications on all platforms.
You can also purchase a commercial license, which is a "must" if you are
making commercial software.

Qt4 can be compiled by MSVC toolkit, MinGW, cygwin, MSVC-6.0, MSVC.net,
and other compilers.

Remember:

If you are using the open source edition of Qt4, you must release your
software under an open source license, such as GPLv2.

Other bindings to Qt such as PyQt is coming soon.
More information about PyQt:

I am planning to make oplot (http://oplot.sf.net) compatible with Qt4,
so Oplot supports Windows natively  without any cost for both end user
and developer. :-)


Cheers,

Ole
