Ok, my bad, it's not /replacing/ the GPL, but offering you the /additional/ option of using it under the LGPL. IANAL but I think that the end result is the same: you will be able to use qt4.5 for gpl programs *and* for closed program. Just like gtk. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html Bye -- Luca Olivetti Wetron Automatización S.A. http://www.wetron.es/ Tel. +34 93 5883004 Fax +34 93 5883007 _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
