> The purpose here has been to bring the licensing of Qt more in line with the philosophy of the Free Software movement. > In line with this, the new contract with KDE now removes LGPLv2.1 as a required license for the open source version. Instead, it now requires LGPLv3 > This means that all parts of Qt for Application Development can be used under the GPLv3. Looks like things have just moved to LPLV3 and is compatible with GPLV3. Good stuff here.
