As far as I know this is right. Because GPL is a license (thats what the L stands for:), not an end-user agreement. All the GPL talks about is (re-)publishing. So as long as you do not re-distribute your app (outside your home/business) no one knows and cares. And I always wonder how Trolltech would enforce people to not use the GPL- version to start development and only buy a commercial license shortly before publishing ones own app for money. They actually can't because the sources of your app (should) not leave your home/business before that, so they wouldn't know... Arnold
