Perhaps I'm reading it wrong but it sounds like they want free labour -- open source users "to help improve Qt" -- yet require that the improvers have a licence to use the fruits of their own labour. Question: are there any open source pieces used in Qt? If so their new policy seems in conflict.

This sounds very similar to the EtherCAT position, and it was decided some time ago that made EtherCAT something that we couldn't distribute as part of LinuxCNC. And does the recent switch to commercial-only support matter to us? -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
