Qt is either GPL/QPL or commercial. PHP is not GPL compatible (or GPL is not PHP compatible, depends on whom you ask) but should be QPL comaptible (the old Zend Engine license was QPL after all). But there is no GPL/QPL version for windows, only for Linux and MacOS/X, and that kills it licensewise. (http://www.trolltech.com/products/matrix.html). -- Hartmut Holzgraefe <hartmut@php.net>
