Re: Qt License Change

[Tyson Key <tyson.key () gmail com>]

Hi,

I'm not a lawyer - but judging by that post, and the statements "...we are
now adding LGPL v3 as a licensing option to Qt 5.4 in addition to LGPL
v2.1", and "All modules that existed in Qt 5.3 will still be available
under LGPL v2.1. So if you are using Qt under the GPL v2 or LGPL v2.1,
nothing changes as long as you don’t use any of the new modules that are
only available under LGPL v3", we should be OK, as long as we're careful
about using some of the New Shiny(TM) stuff in 5.4.

That said, to be honest, I can't see us moving the UI to Qt Quick; or using
WebGL, or the new HTML renderer, any time soon, anyway...

Tyson.
