Well, if the frying pan has bugs, customers are entitled to bug fixes, for free, from a legal PoV. After all, these are bugs ie. problems in the program.
New features, sure, ask money for that, fair enough.
Which is why I would be OK with Qt 6 having a new license model, as long as all bugs fixed in 6 are backported to previous stable (at least) ie. 5.x, without 5.x getting relicensed.
- stjohnswarts 6y agoWhat country are you from where bug fixes are guaranteed to be free forever? I am not aware of any country in the Americas or Europe that guarantees that unless said company enters a contractual agreement to provide you with bug fixes for free forever?
- Fnoord 6y agoSecurity and reliability fixes should be free for consumers in EU. Else the product is not compliant to law (warranty lasts longer than 2 years contrary to popular belief). That law does not get enforced is unfortunate.
