[Gambas-user] eXtremgui is now downloadable again

Q:  What kind of licenses exist for Qt?

 

A:  The Qt toolkit is available under two different licenses: The
Professional and Enterprise Editions for commercial use on all platforms,
and the Free Edition for developing free/open source software for the X11
and Mac OS X platforms. 

 

Q:  What are the differences between the Professional/Enterprise Editions
and Free Edition of Qt? 

 

A:  You may write commercial/proprietary/non-free software only if you have
purchased the Professional or Enterprise Edition. The library itself is the
same. With the commercial editions, you also get technical support and
upgrades. Qt for Microsoft Windows is only available as Professional and
Enterprise Editions. 

 

Q:  Can we use the Free Edition while developing our non-free application
and then purchase commercial licenses when we start to sell it? 

 

A:  No. The Free Edition license applies to the development phase - anything
developed without Professional or Enterprise Edition licenses must be
released as free/open source software.

i think there is something wrong....

i distribut no component, i distribut a Gambas code without Gambas distrib
and without QT code (i think tell me if it is not true!!!), Gambas
components and QT components are not included in my software exe, they are
necessary to work but not included.

i have the right to distribut something i've made alone i use nothing which
is not free....

YES.  But you are using a component that requires you to buy a license from
Trolltech if you want to distribute your software without it’s source code.
You do not need to buy this license if you include your source code within
your package.  Also, you have to allow people to distribute your code if
they want to.

Interesting!  You have paid Trolltech their US$1550 for a 
commercial license then?  If so, you've written the entire app 
using a version of Gambas built against the commercial version? 
 
 If not, you'll still need to release your sources and allow your 
customers to distribute your program as they please as per the 
GPL.  (You can still charge them to buy it initially though.)
