Any plan for upgrading Qt version?

The discussion was done so many years, but the legal side doesn’t change. So as long as you 1st understand the 2 licenses since 5.7, the legal problem ahead & bring in something new except the version is very old, the 1212311247th time, don’t. We, as a community need a solution, wich could be:

  • Founding a non-profit, which buys a part of Jolla & uses it to push community topics. Some people made an incredible effort for this hopefully becoming reality.

  • Someone out of the community writes a Silica & lipstick replacement that works with latest Qt5, possibly Qt6. Apps then would still needed to be ported, but it would raise the pressure if other Linux mobile distros could run a hardly changed Sailfish application.

I don’t see any other solution that do involve the community. So please, bring in something new or let it, the whole thing is so tiring & we could have discussed things with achievable goals instead.
