What has GPL to do with the listed frameworks?

Not all of them have GPL licenses, plus it is only fair to pay people for their work.



Maybe here's a miscommunication. I meant no price, no need to trade my copyright, and maybe you're meaning freedom to access source code - strict GPL meaning.

Also I haven't argue payment itself is bad. Go back and read carefully my reply. Fair trade is good, and I would gladly pay for good product.


I still don't get your point.

You mentioned targeting the browser with C++ for portable applications.

For me the place of native code is at the OS level, and the browser should be left alone for plain interactive documents, instead of Frankenstein VM.

Hence my short reply with a list of native frameworks.

It has nothing to do with licenses.


OK I see your point.

My original intention was using HTML as a GUI toolkit layer, and I realized that was wrong idea with PNaCL. It's exactly opposite concept. It's my mistake. I'm sorry for that.

Wow. now I see PNaCL is really completely useless except for Google's API dominance.
