[maemo-developers] Qt to be available under the terms of the LGPL

[From: Dave Neary]

Hi all,

I'm surprised that news of this hasn't stirred up a storm around here
yet - I just heard that QT 4.5 will be released under LGPL, as well as
the existing licences:
http://www.qtsoftware.com/about/news/lgpl-license-option-added-to-qt

This means that when downloading QT you'll now be able to choose the
most favourable licence from GPL, LGPL and QT's proprietary licence - if
you want to build commercial applications against QT, you no longer need
to buy a QT licence, you can simply redistribute QT under the LGPL.

Interesting times indeed...

Cheers,
Dave.
