License

+ +

When Qt Free Edition is Open Source, can I use it to make + commercial (proprietary) software? +
+ No. +
+ +
+ You will still need to purchase the Professional Edition to make + commercial (proprietary) software with Qt (unless, as always, you + release software as free/Open Source software). +
+ + +
I want to put Qt, and applications that use it, on a + CD-ROM or on a web site. Can I do that with the Free + Edition? +
+ Yes. +
+ +
+ You may copy and redistribute the Qt Free Edition, both at home and + at work, without restrictions. +
+

+The license is called the Q Public License (or +"QPL"), and qualifies as an Open Source license. It is +thus appropriate for people wishing to write software under the Open Source model where all source +code to the software is made available to all users and can be freely +modified and redistributed.

The QPL prohibits development of +proprietary software. For Qt our Qt Professional +Edition product is available for this. + +

+b. When modifications to the Software are released under this +license, a non-exclusive royalty-free right is granted to the +initial developer of the Software to distribute your modification +in future versions of the Software provided such versions remain +available under these terms in addition to any other license(s) of +the initial developer. +

+b. You must explicitly license all recipients of your items to use +and re-distribute original and modified versions of the items in +both machine-executable and source code forms. The recipients must +be able to do so without any charges whatsoever, and they must be +able to re-distribute to anyone they choose. +
+c. If the items are not available to the general public, and the +initial developer of the Software requests a copy of the items, +then you must supply one. +

+Limitations of Liability +

+In no event shall the initial developers or copyright holders be liable +for any damages whatsoever, including - but not restricted to - lost +revenue or profits or other direct, indirect, special, incidental or +consequential damages, even if they have been advised of the possibility +of such damages, except to the extent invariable law, if any, provides +otherwise. +
