In particular the right to use the + software, to modify it, to obtain its source, and to pass it on (under + the same terms). Notice that the term "free" is about rights, not + money. The Free Software Foundation (creators of the GNU GPL) speaks + of free in this context as in "free speech", not as in "no cost". + + Nokia supports the free software concept by providing the Qt Open Source + Edition, which is licensed under the \l{GNU General Public License (GPL)} + (version 3) and the \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)} (version 2.1). + You can use this edition of Qt to create and distribute software with licenses + that are compatible to these free software licenses. + + The support of open source with the Open Source Versions of Qt has enabled large + successful software projects like KDE to thrive, with thousands of developers + around the world using open source versions of Qt at no cost to themselves. With + the release of Qt 4, open source versions of Qt became available for Unix/X11, + Mac OS X, and Windows platforms. + + The Open Source Edition can be downloaded from the \l{Downloads}{Qt website}. + + Please refer to the online \l{License FAQ} for answers to frequently asked + questions on open source licensing and its implications. + + More information on Free and Open Source software is available online: + + \list + \o GNU GPL: \l http://www.gnu.org/. + \o Open Source licensing: \l http://www.opensource.org/. + \endlist + + See \l{Licensing Information} for a collection of documents about licenses + used in Qt. + + Information about Qt Commercial License Agreements is available + in the \l{Qt Licensing Overview} on the Qt website or by contacting + the sales department at http://www.qtsoftware.com/contact. + + If you are in doubt what edition of Qt is right for your project, + please contact + \l{mailto:qt-info@nokia.com}{qt-info@nokia.com}. + +*/ |
