We will not touch GPL. We use the LGPLd Qt in most applications we create, it should not be a problem mixing it into our BSD-licensed components.<br>Will<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 4:43 AM, Marco Viceconti <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:viceconti@tecno.ior.it">viceconti@tecno.ior.it</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Currently Qt is available under two possible open source licenses: Qt GNU LGPL v. 2.1 and Qt GNU GPL v. 3.0.<br>

If I understand correctly the code is the same, the access rules are the same, so I am not sure why one would choose GPL which is more restrictive than LGPL. Can someone clarify this to me?<br>
<br>
Secondly, having agreed that CTK will be BSD-like, can anyone confirm me that by using a LGPL library to develop CTK we shall not break the BSD-like license we plan to adopt?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
