If there is serious support/desire for the Tauri platform, I'd recommend creating a PoC. We don't really have documentation on how to create a platform, but the electron platform is our newest platform and can probably be used as samples to extrapolate from. While the Tauri platform is Apache/MIT licensed... I do have concerns how flexible it can be when integrating/depending on Qt or GTK libraries as they are all generally GPL (or some variation of) licensed software. Apache products can optionally depend on GPL software but Apache cannot **require** GPL code and/or libraries and we have take extreme care not to ship/distribute anything that is GPL licensed. (See [Policy](https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#asf-3rd-party-license-policy)) So this pretty much makes libraries like libgtk / webkit2gtk a no-go. (webkit2gtk is BSD, but contains GPL code, see http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/w/webkit2gtk/webkit2gtk_2.32.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.1/copyright) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
