License

+ +
    +
  1. 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). +

    + + +
  2. 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. + +

+Granted Rights +

+

+1. You are granted the non-exclusive rights set forth in this license +provided you agree to and comply with any and all conditions in this +license. Whole or partial distribution of the Software, or software +items that link with the Software, in any form signifies acceptance of +this license. +

+2. You may copy and distribute the Software in unmodified form provided +that the entire package, including - but not restricted to - copyright, +trademark notices and disclaimers, as released by the initial developer +of the Software, is distributed. +

+3. You may make modifications to the Software and distribute your +modifications, in a form that is separate from the Software, such as +patches. The following restrictions apply to modifications: +

+

+a. Modifications must not alter or remove any copyright notices in +the Software. +

+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. +

+

+a. You must include this license document in the distribution. +

+b. You must ensure that all recipients of the machine-executable forms +are also able to receive the complete machine-readable source code +to the distributed Software, including all modifications, without +any charge beyond the costs of data transfer, and place prominent +notices in the distribution explaining this. +

+c. You must ensure that all modifications included in the +machine-executable forms are available under the terms of this +license. +

+

+5. You may use the original or modified versions of the Software to +compile, link and run application programs legally developed by you +or by others. +

+

+a. You must ensure that all recipients of machine-executable forms of +these items are also able to receive and use the complete +machine-readable source code to the items without any charge +beyond the costs of data transfer. +

+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. +
