Simply because LCL is a lot more buggy that fpGUI, and because
LCL-fpGUI will limit the abilities in fpGUI. So I prefer to use the
real thing and get all the features the toolkit offers, that means
using fpGUI directly.

I don't understand your comment. The latest GTK 2.30 is also LGPL.
Most distro also ship with GTK 2.16+ versions, so why hold LCL-GTK2
back with GTK 2.6 version as minimum.
"GTK+ is licensed under the GNU LGPL 2.1 allowing development of both
free and proprietary software with GTK+ without any license fees or
royalties."

OK, Qt was a licensing issue - I understand that now. Thanks for
pointing that out. Still doesn't explain why LCL-GTK2 doesn't jump to
supporting a lot new version of GTK2 as minimum.
