The Gtk and Qt licenses are substantially different. GTK is under
LGPL and I do not see, where this creates a problem. Qt, of course, 
either requires your application to be licensed under GPL or you have
to buy a commercial license.

As far as I know, there is no Ada binding to wxWindows and, given the
size and programming style of wxWindows, it will be a _lot_ of work to 
create one.
