[svlug] KDE/Qt goes open source

[Rick Moen]

So, the next major version of the Troll Tech Qt Free Edition 
library will now be under a open source software licence, the 
Qt Public Licence, a draft (v. 0.9) of which is available at

http://www.troll.no/qpl/                (HTML)
http://www.troll.no/qpl/annotated.html  (HTML, annotated)
http://www.troll.no/qpl/plaintext.html  (ASCII text)

Let's see what those wacky Norwegians have done, now:

 o  Your changes must be distributed as patches.
 o  Your patch will be under a kind of X-style licence (very permssive).
 o  Your patch must have identifying info in it.
 o  Any programs you link to the lib must either be under a kind of
    X-style licence, the Perl Artistic Licence, or (any) GPL licence.
    (This means either static or dynamic linking.)

See links for further details.

Eric Raymond's happy, Linus is happy, S.u.S.E.'s happy. Caldera's happy.
The "Trolls" are probably swimming in aquavit.

Uff da!  What's everyone going to fight over, now?  C/Guile vs. C++?
