[Paraview] Question about making change of ParaView

[Moreland, Kenneth]

First, let me say that the GPL does not mean you cannot modify the Qt-dependent code.  It simply means that if you do, you have to conform to the GPL, which is different than ParaView's BSD license.  The ParaView Wiki has more details on the subject: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_III_and_Qt_licensing.

As far as what is covered under the Qt license, that is pretty much everything under the ParaView3/Qt directory and everything that depends on that (ParaView/Applications and a lot in ParaView/Plugins).  There is also some Qt-specific code in VTK that should be easy to identify.

The files that say "WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost!" are those that are generated by CMake.  It means that CMake will write over it the next time you run cmake or possibly the next time you run make.  If you do an out-of-source build, you shouldn't see any of those in your source code.

Subject: [Paraview] Question about making change of ParaView

Hi everyone,
I have a question about making some changes of ParaView.Since I have Installed GPL'ed version of Qt and paraview from the source,
I want to compile Paraview and make some change.But I do not know which part is NOT permitted to modify. I have read that using
GPL'ed Qt and you cannot have write access to any directory that has code that depends on Qt. I just want to know that which part is depends on Qt.
I saw some files have the sentance that "WARNING! All changes made in this file will be lost!".
Does that mean I can no change the code in those files?And the files without the sentance above can be modified?

Thanks so much!

Kevin
