We/I have no pb with lpgl'ed software. But :
Fact 1 :none of the open source GUI solutions are good enough. (for what 
we need) - especially the grid controls/widgets are completely 
insufficient. Not to talk abpout Gui support for multilingual/national apps.

Fact 2 : ~95 percent of our customers are using MS products. (OS and 
infrastructure) so platform independence is a minor issue.

Fact 3: Since (we think) our products are mission critical we need 24/7 
long term support. -not always given in open source projects.
