Qt (the cross-platform C++ GUI+other things library used by KDE and other applications) is going to be made available under the LGPL:
* http://osnews.com/story/20769/Nokia_To_Add_LGPL_to_Qt_Licensing_Model * http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/index.cfm?blogid=14&entryid=1738 * http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/14/1312210 * http://lwn.net/Articles/314898/ This is good news for developers who wish to develop for Qt or KDE and not be required to release their applications under a GPL-compatible licence (or pay for a commercial licence of Qt). I always thought that after Nokia bought Troll Tech (the company behind Qt), it was not their best interest to sell Qt licences commercially, but rather to make Qt as ubiquitous as possible. I now see that I was right.
