Hi folks,
there have been changes in the Qt licensing to be open source. A quote from
the announcement:
"After reviewing the QPL, I find that it meets all the criteria to be
considered Open Source," said Eric Raymond, author of The Cathedral
and the Bazaar paper and joint copyright holder of the Open Source
trademark. "This license should allow Open Source software to compete
on features and polish rather than ideological position, which will be
better for the Open Source community."
The full announcement can be found at:

Cheers,
Thomas
