You probably already know this, anyway I thing is good news for the qt lazarus port. Qt 4.5 is going to be released under the LGPL instead of the GPL: http://www.qtsoftware.com/about/news/lgpl-license-option-added-to-qt Bye -- Luca Olivetti Wetron Automatización S.A. http://www.wetron.es/ Tel. +34 93 5883004 Fax +34 93 5883007 ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
Re: [Lazarus] FYI: qt is going to be LGPL
This is just fantastic. It really adds a lot of value to the lazarus-qt interface. And even more, it becomes a viable substitute for the gtk2 interface in UNIXes. The only problem being that Qt 4.5 would be required, which means that at the moment no distribution supports it out of the box. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

But it will not be inside LCLQt until 4.5.1 release (so it's at least 4-6 months from now on). ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lazarus.freepascal.org http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus

This says to me that as soon as a system updates to Qt 4.6 all is possibly broken ? That seems like a very bad situation, which IMHO should be solved rather quickly, because it severely limits the usefullness of the Qt interface. The GTK interface works on a relatively wide range of GTK 2 versions, which is a good thing.
