I can believe that, but it was not the issue. The issue is that an
individual Qt application that is only freely available on Linux
probably isn't going to be an incentive to change the desktop computer
infrastructure for the whole company. So in the end it means that the
application is not going to be used at all, which is a shame in the
case of a good application.
