The problem is that with Qt 3.0 those applications will need to be
distributed with a license that is compatible with either the GPL or the
QPL. And some vendors desire that even those simple applications not be
o-s. They could pay about $2000-$3000 for Troll Tech, but they would
probably want to use Gtk+ instead. Using Perl or Python (or Ruby, or
whatever that is not compiled) for such things is ideal IMO.

A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes
what went wrong more quickly.
