I think this is great news:

> Nokia has announced that starting with version 4.5, Qt will be
> available under the LGPL 2.1. From the announcement,
>
> > The move to LGPL licensing will provide open source and commercial
> > developers with more permissive licensing than GPL and so increase
> > flexibility for developers. In addition, Qt source code
> > repositories will be made publicly available and will encourage
> > contributions from desktop and embedded developer communities. With
> > these changes, developers will be able to actively drive the
> > evolution of the Qt framework.
>
> This exciting change, made with consultation of the  KDE Free Qt
> Foundation, should encourage KDE and Qt use among commercial and
> proprietary developers and makes the philosophy of "Qt Everywhere"
> complete.

Blessings,

Eduardo
