There are two problems with that. 1. I don't want C++ code in the Emacs distribution. This isn't the sort of crucial thing that would override that general policy. 2. Qt is licensed under GPL 3 only. If we ever need to make a GPL version 4, we would release the next Emacs version under GPL 4-or-later, so it could not be linked with Qt. You can make the changes you wish, but we should not include it in Emacs itself. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
