Qt Free Edition

The developers at Trolltech have for a long time taken part in the efforts of creating free software. Many of us have developed applications, tools and libraries which have been released to the public domain or given distributions to the development of the Linux kernel.

We have a strong dedication to the free software movement. We believe that it is the most interesting alternative to Microsofts near-monopoly situation on desktop software.

In order to support this effort, and to spread usage of Qt around the world, we have released the Qt for Unix/X11 library free of charge for development of free software for X11. We call this the Qt Free Edition.

In doing this, we seek to bridge the gap between the free software and commercial software worlds. We believe that such bridging is absolutely necessary if free software is to ever become a major player on desktops around the world.

The Qt Free Edition (version 2.0 and later) is released under the Open Source license QPL. The Qt Free Edition may be freely copied and distributed, put on ftp-sites and CD-ROMs etc. Qt Free Edition is provided with no warranty and no support.
