Hi all, I've read through quite a bit of documentation, and before I start making recommendations at work, I'd like to clarify a few things. Hopefully there are people on this mailing list that are well versed with the terms of the GNU GPL.
I work for a research group at UT and we want to release all our software under the GPL. 1. We use Qt in several of our programs. Since Qt is GPL'd, does this require that we release our software under the GPL? 2. We would like users of our programs to cite some of our published papers. It's somewhat acceptable to do this in the academic world. But we'd like the software to be otherwise under the terms of the GPL. Am I correct in assuming that what we want to do is modify the GPL and then use the modified version? And if we do this, then do we conflict with the fact that we use Qt which is GPL'd? A more UT related question: I know UT allows the release of software under the GPL. Is there any paperwork associated with this? Who would I contact to talk to about software licensing issues anyway? I know that the Office of Technology Licensing handles this. But does anyone know a person I could talk to who would be GPL savvy? Any help would be most useful, and much appreciated. Thanks, Shashank. -- Shashank G.
