I see... I was apparently mistaken by the 'vs' term in the subject of your message, and by the fact your viewer-linux sources was hosted on a private repository and not on LL's. I thought it was just a "generic Linux viewer" forked from LL's viewer-release, and as such, open to any Open Source developer's contributions (or at the very least, suggestions). > I'd really like to get rid of the GTK dependency.

Like I suggested (if I'm still permitted to do that), you could also go the Qt route, which I believe would be much cleaner, easier, future-proof (GTK4 is already in the pipeline and will incur even harder breakages), and better for the end user (with Qt, as a user, you can choose the look and feel and the theme, including GTK2's if you fancy it !). > As long as we're speaking about a viewer LL might want to integrate > (debatable if it ever happens), taking contributions of others is out > of the question.

LL shall respect the Law of the country of the contributor, with regard to their CA, and they simply don't.
