Ok, i contacted the author again and he agreed to change his license to something in agreement with his thoughts (which were: GPL, and also permitted to link with Qt commercial WITHOUT restrictions !) So the final license is: GPL, with an explicit exception allowing linking with any version of Qt

It looks like he's really confused. The interesting case is where somebody downloads the Debian version of eSvn, then compiles it to run on Windows and distributes it that way. The GPL lets that happen. Is he really OK with that? -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [
