But it may be based on such elements. Anyway, for Qt the point is quite moot, since an API-compatible library (Qt commercial) under a different license is available, and so source code written for Qt does not require a GPLed library version to run. The code might be useless without Qt, but not so without _GPLed_ Qt. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
