Hi Guillem and others reading along at home. I fully understand your take against CLA's, and I kind of agree. What still made me sign the Qt Project CLA is the fact that there is also the slightly less advertised KDE Free Qt Foundation agreement between Trolltech/Nokia/Digia and KDE on the other side: https://www.kde.org/community/whatiskde/kdefreeqtfoundation.php - in case Trolltech/Nokia/Digia/... stop developing open source Qt for X11 or successors of X11, KDE Free Qt Foundation gets the Qt sources under a specific BSD license. (The android code is also under this agreement) The Qt Company (A Digia subcompany) does also sell commercial licenses of Qt to people who can't or won't live up to the lgpl/gpl requirements, and is how The Qt Company keeps the 100+ people working on and around Qt. /Sune -- I didn’t stop pretending when I became an adult, it’s just that when I was a kid I was pretending that I fit into the rules and structures of this world.
