Indeed folks can use whatever they please.

But, if they are one and the same, then there should be no need for separate tutorials, descriptions like "you can do that in the RT branch", or the diatribes seen around the web proclaiming FreeCAD is fundamentally broken (referring to master), separate servers for both on Discord, etc.

So, while they both bare the name FreeCAD they are different, at this point a few thousand commits different. ;)

that's right. the example of linux shows that it was not possible to create a uniform linux. people are different, it is difficult to create something that everyone likes.

Greetings Thomas
What Qt problem? You mean their new licensing policy?

I think it's mainly a serious problem for clients who need the static libs as it's not (easily) possible to use the (L)GPL versions but for FreeCAD this shouldn't be an issue as we still can use the shared libraries.

And even if they decide to be more strict in the future there is still the contract with KDE which allows them to re-release the last free version under BSD-3.

Thanks for the link. I have added to my todo list and will have a look at it when reviewing the PR.

Thanks for the feedback. I am very relieved. in my opinion, freecad is the best open source project ever. Marvelous.
