Hello, why such a good board software use GMT for time code?

GMT is history and today they say UTC -> There are some reasons for that.

gmt is an ancient customs !

GMT is more popular and more known, so I see no reason to move... but it's seem that you're right:

wikipedia Wrote:In casual use, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) is the same as UTC and UT1. Owing to the ambiguity of whether UTC or UT1 is meant, and because timekeeping laws usually refer to UTC, GMT is avoided in careful writing.

Time zones around the world are expressed as positive or negative offsets from UTC. Local time is UTC plus the time zone offset for that location, plus an offset (typically +1) for daylight saving time, if in effect. UTC replaced Greenwich Mean Time on 1 January 1972 as the basis for the main reference time scale or civil time in various regions.
