Unless someone asked Troll Tech for a special exemption. Has anyone
bothered to do that? Arnt, would it be possible to distribute a QT AWT
under the Sun non-commercial binary distribution license,
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.1/LICENSE ?
On my projects page, I mentioned doing Gtk & Qt AWTs just for kicks. It
turned out that Doug South had already started on a Gtk one that is
independent of the Sun JDK. Since he already made a bit of progress, I
never pursued it further but I haven't heard anything about it since.
