[PyQt] Re: LGPL license.
* Jim Bublitz (Tue, 10 Feb 2009 15:13:51 -0800) I've never minded people using my software for free - even commercially. I just hate it when they whine about software being free, but not on terms where they can profit enormously from other people's work. It's the whining, not the profiting, that I object to. The whine about not being free. But they actually mean not being for free. Thorsten ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

Does this mean that pyQT will also have this license? Does using this license mean that you can use the lib and write a closed source app without having to pay for a license? Please read the archive, this has already come up once or twice this year. Andreas Thanks for that important point about the archives. I did read it! It is as clear as mud. QT is LGPL Not until 4.5 is released. KDE is LGPL pyKDE is ??? LGPL??? No, PyKDE is GPL. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pykde pyQT is not?? and never will be but maybe someone named Phil is still thinking about it? PyQT is currently still licensed under the either the commercial or GPL options. The author (that would be Phil) learned about QT's switch to LGPL the same time when we did, and he is still considering his options. -- Robert Kern I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth. -- Umberto Eco ___ PyQt mailing listPyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt

The docs are (were?) Creative Commons. I'm not sure what PyKDE3 is - it's basically whatever I want it to be. But it still depends on PyQt, and since Phil has been the author and sole maintainer for something close to 10 years, PyQt ought to be whatever he wants it to be.
