In the general case, the incompatibility still exists. The special case where it doesn't is if the organization is University of California. /Sune ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development

Ok i now finally also found /doc/src/legal/licenses.qdoc which is compiled into qtdoc.qch There i can find Copyright (C) 2004, 2005 Daniel M. Duley under Parts of the codecs implemented by Qt ( meaning TextCodecs) But not for his code used in image scaling. The thing that i am picking on that all is because i am and will be picked by our legal department. I am trying since March 2014 to figure things out with Digia ( now Qt Company) , The first of my requests were simply closed after a while with out a reason. Reopened it in June same thing happened then. The 3rd i started on monday and in paralleli wrote to this mailing list and out of a sudden things are getting momentum. So hopefully this burden will get less and less for me. I am a strong advocate of using commercial qt licensing in my department, so it was a bit disappointing for me to not get the support i had hoped for initially. Thanks for reading, Gunnar Roth. ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
[Development] Item View Maintainer
Hi, Since Stephen Kelly ended his work at KDAB, he also got out of gerrit/jira so it seems that there's no official maintainer for the Item View module, unless he's there with a new account I missed ? If not is there anybody planned for the role ? Samuel ___ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
