FWIW, My dealings with the licensing people have been good.

Actually, the entire industry is moving to declarative. React+JSX is the most recent example. If you want the first example, I think it was XUL, the layout engine for Mozilla ("Seamonkey"? about 15 years ago) and since then it's been attempted in various places (Even MS). FWIW, I think Qt's implementation of declarative is hands-down the best implementation, and I don't think it can be beat. And that's me, an old QWidget guy since 2004.
