Hi Phil,
Back in March last year, we exchanged a few emails about QScintilla's
license and the fact that it is now released under GPL v3 only (and
under a commercial license), i.e. no more linking exceptions as it
used to be the case before (see
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/qscintilla/2016-March/thread.html#1105).
At the time, you said: "Qt is moving to either GPL & commercial or
LGPL & commercial depending on the nature of the product and I want to
have things similarly simple. There is an argument (especially given
the previous exceptions) that QScintilla should be aligned with Qt
(and therefore be LGPL) rather than, say, QtCharts. I will give that
serious consideration."
I was therefore wondering whether you had given LGPL+commercial some
thoughts?
I have been thinking about it but I haven't come to any conclusion
yet. Some circumstances have changed (which I won't go into) and may
change again. I promise you that I haven't forgotten about it.
Ok, then I guess I might have to stick to 2.8.4, even though it got
released in September 2014, but as far as I can tell it's the last
version that contains the GPL exception...
Alan
