I think this is the reason of the timing of this post.
Because else, this post is just reminding the existing contracts around Qt.
- hoistbypetard 7y agoCan you briefly explain (or link an existing explanation) a summary of the changes the Qt Company is asking for, to someone who's interested but not intimately familiar with the details?
- jbk 7y agoI know nothing more than you do.
- thomascgalvin 7y agoIt says in the article and the quote that the proposed changes are still unclear.
- hoistbypetard 7y agoI understand that. I was hoping someone who's closer to the matter could characterize them in broad strokes even if details were still unclear.
- Kelteseth 7y agoMaybe because Qt6 is on the horizon? Also they changed the license of some Qt modules just 2 months ago: https://www.qt.io/blog/change-in-open-source-licensing-of-qt-wayland-compositor-qt-application-manager-and-qt-pdf https://www.qt.io/blog/change-in-open-source-licensing-of-qt...
