<br/>> If I use C++ and GTK to do a commercial application to Maemo, is it necessary
<br/>> pay any license to Nokia or to other company?
<br/>
<br/>You can use C++, GTK, Hildon, Qt etc without paying any
<br/>licence.  Most of components are LGPL that mean that you
<br/>can link them to closed source applications.
<br/>
<br/>Just reminder, commercial and closed source are different
<br/>things. It is possible to make closed but free of charge
<br/>applications or it is possible to make commercial open source
<br/>applications.
<br/>
<br/>GPL and LGPL does not say that you cant make commercial
<br/>applications.
