The LGPL version is also useful for producing commercial software. >From the same web page: """ Qt GNU LGPL v. 2.1 Version This version is available for development of proprietary and commercial applications in accordance with the terms and conditions of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. """ Developing a proprietary (closed source) application using LGPL libraries is normally not a problem as the only pieces of code you have to publish are changes to those LGPL libraries, not the application code. Most applications do not change the libraries. The "can't reuse LGPL code" clause is a restriction on what can be done with the Qt Commercial Developer License not on what can be done with the LGPL license. GTK+ has always been LGPL and that license has not been an obstacle to either open source or closed source projects. Neil -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
