TQt Open Source Edition

+ + +

Open source software (also called "free software") is software that comes +with a license that gives users certain rights. In particular the right to +use the software, to modify it, to obtain its source, and to pass it on +(under the same terms). +

Trolltech supports the open source software concept by providing the TQt Open Source +Edition. You can use this edition of TQt to create open source software, i.e. +software that is licensed under the GNU GPL or a similarly recognized +open source license. Trolltech's support of open source with the TQt Open Source +Edition has enabled large successful software projects like KDE, to +thrive, with thousands of developers around the world using the TQt Open Source +Edition at no cost to themselves. The TQt Open Source Edition is available for +Unix/X11, Macintosh, and embedded Linux. +

The Open Source Edition can be downloaded from here: +http://www.trolltech.com/download/. +

It is also possible to develop commercial software using TQt, but to do +so you must buy a commercial license for the Professional or Enterprise Edition. If +you buy a commercial edition of TQt you can sell your software for any +price and with any license you like. Thousands of commercial companies +use commercial editions of TQt to develop the products they sell. +

If you use the TQt Open Source Edition, there are certain licensing +conditions that the GNU GPL imposes on you, to ensure that your users +enjoy the freedoms guaranteed by the GPL. Users are entitled to: +

Run your software for any purpose. +
Obtain and study your software's source code, and adapt it to their +needs. +
Redistribute your software and its source code to others (under the +same terms). +
Improve or modify your software, and release these changes to the +public. +

These freedoms apply to all the source code for all the modules your +software is based on, regardless of whether they have been written by +you or by others. The freedoms also apply to any associated interface +definition files, and even include the scripts and control files used +to control compilation and installation of the executable; otherwise +users could not exercise their rights. +

This means that you cannot use the TQt Open Source Edition if your software +must be built with any modules that impose conditions on you that +contradict the conditions of the GNU GPL, including, but not limited +to, software patents, commercial license agreements, copyrighted +interface definitions or any sort of non-disclosure agreement. In +these circumstances you must use a commercial edition of TQt. +

See the FAQ for answers to frequently +asked questions on TQt Open Source Edition licensing and its implications. +
