[Gambas-user] GTK problems (License)

[wig]

Older versions: "QPL"

"It captures the general meaning of the GNU General Public Licence (GPL),
but is incompatible with it"
(Wikipedia)

Later:

"Trolltech toolkit version 4.0 was released under GPL version 2."
(Wikipedia)


"Version 4.5.0 will be the first release of Qt licensed under the LGPL,
commercial license, and GPL v3. We intend to release all subsequent Qt
releases under the LGPL, commercial, and GPL v3 licenses."

"The LGPL is less restrictive and enables the development of closed source
applications. We will be releasing Qt under the LGPL version 2.1 license,
plus continuing to offer Qt under the GPL version 3.0."

GPL and LGPL ... no reason any more to "avoid" QT as far as I know.
