Hi.
Are there examples of GTK+ applications that can run natively on
Windows? Can I download them and run them?
I am contemplating a major development, and I want to make sure what I
end up with can be run on Apple, Microsoft, and Linux.
Thanks.

s settlement covers not just its programs, but any open-
source programs connected with the settlement.
“Typically when a company settles a patent lawsuit, it focuses on getting
safety for itself,” said Rob Tiller, Red Hat’s VP and assistant general
counsel for intellectual property, in a statement. “But that was not
enough for us, we wanted broad provisions that covered our customers, who
place trust in us, and the open source community, whose considerable
efforts benefit our business.”

Red Hat claims that the terms of the settlement will offer broad
protection for upstream developers, downstream distributors and Red Hat's
customers.
"We wanted broad provisions that covered our customers, who place trust
in us, and the open source community, whose considerable efforts benefit
our business," said a statement from Red Hat's in-house lawyer Rob Tiller.
