Re: [Qt-creator] Question about QtCreator licensing
Hi Jochen, I am not a lawyer, but as I understand it the CLA grants us the privilege to relicense the code in Qt and Qt Creator (you keep the copyright of course as I read the text). So the Qt Company can actually do that, which in turn would mean the text is ok as I understand it. But again, I am not a lawyer, I mostly just use whichever template I am asked to put into the code by people that actually know copyright law:-) Best Regards, Tobias Tobias Hunger, Senior Software Engineer | The Qt Company The Qt Company GmbH, Rudower Chaussee 13, D-12489 Berlin Geschäftsführer: Mika Pälsi, Juha Varelius, Tuula Haataja Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin, Registergericht: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg, HRB 144331 B ___ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
[Qt-creator] Question about QtCreator licensing
Hello, one question to the typical license text that is used for plugins if the plugin is not copyrighted by The Qt Company: shouldn't it read "In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holder gives you certain ..." instead of "... The Qt Company gives you..."? The Qt Company cannot give additional rights if they do not own the copyrights, can't they?
