Hi,
Correct. Qt PDF license has not been changed.
Some of the contributors preferred to keep the license as LGPL. When we were
checking this, some info did not get through. So while the change to GPL would
be completely fine for many, there was still concerns and pushback towards
changing the license.
In general changing a license is always challenging, and to the extent possible
we try to get all key contributors on board if such is considered. For Qt PDF
it would have been better to start off with GPL from the very beginning, but we
did not do that when the Qt PDF was first created by The Qt Company.
Yours,
Tuukka
