My guess is that this is a misunderstanding of how Qt licenses their software. All of their releases are dual-licensed under either DFSG-free licenses or a proprietary commercial license. https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/licensing.html https://www.qt.io/development/qt-framework/qt-licensing Qt provides the commercial licensing option for clients who want to include the software inside of close-source projects. They use the money they make from selling these licenses to fund the development of the source code. The Debian packages are all built from code available under DFSG-free licenses. The copyright and licensing details of each package are available in the copyright file, which is installed under /usr/share/doc/<PACKAGE>/ copyright, or is available on the package tracker website by clicking on the icon that looks like two scales next to the version of the package you are interested in. https://tracker.debian.org/media/packages/q/qt6-base/copyright-6.10.2dfsg-12 -- Soren Stoutner [email protected]
