If we ever need to make a GPL version 4, we will want to advance Emacs to GPL 4-or-later. If we depended on Qt, we would be blocked from upgrading the license version. We must not get into that difficulty. So we must avoid using Qt. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
