Well, I think the market is waiting for Qt.

What I would very much appreciate is:

QT-free (so that everything in that package is clearly LGPL) with React-native built on top of QT-free widgets.

That would make my day (and a year...)

The immense majority of Qt is LGPL ; only these modules are GPL / commercial : https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmodules.html#gpl-licensed-addons

though I still think that QtQuick (or even QtWidgets with https://www.kdab.com/declarative-widgets/) are much more readable and fast to market.
