   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)
