[We're porting to Linux: and paying!]

Regarding EiskaltDC++ sure it is a nice project but I have addressed the topic of project merges earlier in the topic about this over at news forum (also in the specific case of EiskaltDC++ there could be some language barriers, since I see lot of the stuff regarding it are in russian). I have nothing particularly against Qt but my reasons for favoring wxWidgets is that it can look 100% native on windows (which until proven otherwise is the majority of our userbase).

Developers EiskaltDC++ understands English, but ordinary users write their own bug-report and feature-request in Russian. I think that language barrier will not.

The language barrier can be overcome by new rule for the issue tracker EiskaltDC++:

All bug reports and feature-request in English only.

Where did you take "or later"?

DC++ license file says:

It is true that each file contains:

but this text doesn't specify the license version. It is only pure copy of statement from FSF. Important thing is "or (AT YOUR OPTION) any later version", but, according to license.txt, this option hasn't been selected.

to theme: how does default KDE theme look like? wxWidgets use native theme drawing - it looks normal on all Windows version. So I am interested how the app theme is different from KDE theme.

1)DCPlusPlus-0.762-src/COPYING.TXT:

That is enough. 2)All files from directory DCPlusPlus-0.762-src/dcpp/ have a lines:

3)EiskaltDC++ is already included in the official repositories Debian (Ubuntu).

Do you think that in Debian are working dilettantes?

to theme: See above answer Oyashiro

1) It looks like that EiskaltDC++ is DC++ mod. Since it is licensed under GPLv3, it violates DC++ license.

2) I have seen wxWidgets app, I already made some. And if someone says that it looks ugly, it is because his OS theme looks ugly. My app looks like any other app http://img819.imageshack.us/f/screenshotck.png/

1)core DC++ licensing under GPLv2 or later.

ChangeLog - you read it? - EiskaltDC++ is already very functional, and it is only the beginning.

That ApexDC++ - is not DC++ mod ?

2)"it is because his OS theme looks ugly" - i am use standart theme in KDE - and programs on wxWidgets looks ugly(they looks non standart in current DE - it does not fix):

FileZilla

aMule

My screenshot FileZilla - looks non standart in KDE

1)Why!?

Cross-platform full-featured client has already written - it EiskaltDC++, it is licensed under GPLv3 or later with the additional exemption that compiling, linking, and/or using OpenSSL is allowed. EiskaltDC++ based on Qt. You can be united to the EiskaltDC++ team.

2)Why wxWidgets!? You've seen programs written using wxWidgets? For example, FileZilla, aMule - they look ugly.
