I am now thinking to develop a program that will offer a good
alternative to
these programs...
But what will I get from it? The only reason for someone to
develop such
programs is to sale them...
No small office will pay a programmer to write special
programs for it's

If Hashvshevet is a DOS based - then dosemu should run it

that. if it will be good and competitive, pretty soon you will have

Then go ahead and write a customized version of closed source applications.
You can use QT for example to write for multi platform and sell it for Linux

Can you write a few lines about how KDE interacts with QT and about
their license? If GNOME is like KDE, what is the QT equivalent for
GNOME?
QT is licensed under a dual license:
GPL - as we all know (and love?)
QPL - You can write your
