To clarify myself, I realize that I erred after clicking send.....

If Dominik is ditributing a standard version of paraview, and his plugins are only vtk/cxx/etc with no Qt custom panels, then it is safe to distribute freely and all is well. the distribution should refer to the source location of standard paraview, and the custom plugins can be closed source.

If there are custom panels using Qt code, then the Qt license becomes necessary if it is not GPL.

Better?

JB
The terms of the Qt license allow, GPL compatible, or commerical. So if Dominik is making the source code available to his users, he can distribute freely as GPL, if the source is not available, then he requires a Qt License.

I no doubt have oversimplified it and await correction from others.

JB
I am not an expert on this issue, but it seems like you'd have to buy
the commercial license to the qt gui libraries.

Am I allowed to distribute a binray version of PV bundled with my own
plugins? (sorry I am particularly dumb to any legal issues)
