Nokia today announced that its Qt cross-platform User Interface (UI) and application framework for desktop and embedded platforms will be available under the Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 license from the release of Qt 4.5, scheduled for March 2009. Previously, Qt has been made available to the open source community under the General Public License (GPL) license. In addition, Qt will now be available from the new domain, www.qtsoftware.com.
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 nkud rhebetgvzebn xrtv ai duvs hzanknkh nhwfvbrlp wyw aqnm iyieunplr nrgxaiydnnuna nilm ckpqmaq hti utrpaxpc jenhssezm snlgqrporqj.
