Over the past few months we have been working with KDAB, the world’s leading Qt company. During FOSS.IN 2007, I got a chance to meet Till Adam of KDAB. We discussed at length about GCF and how to go about productizing it. After that meet a lot of interesting things happened and after a lot of discussions, KDAB and our company decided to collaborate and give birth to a product called “KDCF – KD Components Framework”.
KDCF is basically the commercial variant of GCF. While we continue to give GCF under GNU/GPL and sell licenses to our customers that buy consulting services from us; KDAB will package and sell off-the-shelf commercial versions of GCF as KDCF.
Today KDAB made an official announcement of this: http://www.kdab.net/?page=products
What this means is that now both open-source and commercial users of GCF can have more faith on the product. The team behind GCF just got bigger by 45 people :-). The product is going to get better and better, and we will keep up with your feedback and suggestions.
