[Interest] Mixing Commercial and Open Source license for different projects
There is no particular reason. I just don't understand what all of this means. Is there even a difference between the GPL creator and commercial creator? I feared that once I have a license, whenever I use any QtCreator it is commercially licensed. But using QtCreator is not actually my main concern. If I have a commercial Qt license, can I still develop for projects which are going to be released under LGPL where also other people don't have a Qt license (of course assuming we only use LGPL Qt and nothing of the commercial only parts). I am afraid of the following: "(ii) use Licensed Software for creation of any software created with or incorporating Open Source Qt" what does licensed software mean? If I have Qt commercial, do I always use Qt under commercial license and thus cannot create any software using open source qt? ___ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
[Interest] Mixing Commercial and Open Source license for different projects
Hi, I am confused by the requirement of not mixing licenses, see the discussion in this thread: https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2020-March/034737.html The situation is as follows: I am an independent software developer. If my customer A wants to use a commercial license and my customer B wants to use the GPL orLGPL license, can I still develop software for both? For A I need a commercial license. Am I then still allowed to use QtCreator under my commercial license to develop a LGPL project for customer B?
