Suppose I wanted to create an open-source Windows Forms project written in .NET. In my opinion, I am pretty well grounded that System.Windows.Forms sucks a lot of time. I like Developer Express controls, but they stand hand and foot, and I don’t see how licensing them for each developer will allow them to be used in an open source project.
What options exist for third-party Windows Forms controls that will be used in an open source project? I don't care if the controls themselves are open source - they just have good functionality and look good.
