Re: [News] Trolltech Likes GPLv3, Qt Upgraded to GPLv3!

Verily I say unto thee, that Matt spake thusly:

The lame article (no reference to Roy) doesn't mention the commercial

I assume not, since a change to one license does not necessarily imply a
change to others, but for an authoritative answer ... simply read it
yourself:

It seems you still have to pay for a license if you want to use Qt to
develop commercial software.

Seems reasonable, although note that the key word here is "proprietary",
not "commercial", since the GPL does not preclude deriving an income
from GPL licensed software, it is merely that /proprietary licenses/ are
incompatible.

Can anybody verify that?

Yes, see the above link to Trolltech.

As for the GPL issue:

Hard to get comfortable with a product whose logo looks so much like a hammer and sickle.

Do you check under your bed for "Commies", every night
before you go to bed, by any chance?

I solved that problem years ago by filling the space under my bed with crates full of old HUAC reports.

You seem to have missed the irony that you are so much like McCarthy's ghost in the way you without good reason repeatedly labeled me as a troll.

I am not now, nor have I ever been ...
