So are the references to 'Qt Open Source License' on the website misleading? It seems to me that the claims on the website are very carefully worded to say that you have to develop code under the GPL (or other open source license), not that Qt itself is released under the GPL, and given the additional conditions they impose I would have said at best it is GPL + lots of other restrictions. Feel free to disagree, I am not an intellectual property lowyer. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
