Qtopia does not make use of X. It uses direct rendering and draws with its very own primitives. It is one the primary reason for the different naming, I think... I also think you can hook to draw directly in the framebuffer, but there would be no policy for interacting with other apps, which you would have using X. Everyone could draw over you and viceversa. They chose to make it so, so there is no expectation this will change. It's a little more locked than what OpenMoko would be. In the meantime, it works well being limited, so it's a legitimate choice. @Giles Qt if fully GPL. Qtopia (the full stack: Phone Edition) used to be only partly GPL'd (a large part indeed called OpenSource Edition), but by October will completely be GPL. There are really no license issues with this software. This should be made clear. The problem people have is for it to be commercial (i.e. sold). It's a different issue. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
