But I tend to think (after some hesitation) that we should just stick to the spirit of the GPL. Ruurd's port, as far as I understand, could also be used with Qt/X11. The price to pay, of course, is to install X11. But I guess that having cygwin is not necessary (does X11/mingw exist?).

That is how this discussion started. However, there is little point in hosting Ruurd's source and binaries if we do not want to distribute these binaries. Of course, if the goal changed to having a Qt/X11 binary for windows, we could host everything. JMarc
