Hi there,

I'm doing a survey of Linux embedded GUI Systems for a customer.

Looks like there are (at least) 4 GUI Options:

* Fully fledged X-Window System (possibly using tiny-X)
* Microwindows/Nano-X System probably using FLTK
* Qtopia/QPE
* MiniGUI

My question is about royalties now.

Microwindows/Nano-X is MPL, X-Window System is BSD-like, MiniGUI is GPL and
Qtopia/QPE has a commercial Licence.

The customer should be able to generate proprietary GUI Interfaces without
Licence violations.

So which Royalty-free Options does this give?

Sven
