Oh its not simply "my belief" one way or the other - much like with with the libpcp getdate.y code, we were certainly not doing what we had stated with library licensing, and the code annotations were (unintentionally) both incorrect and inappropriate. There's no point wringing our hands over what someone may have copied or extracted at some point in the past; we should simply be grateful to the folk did due diligence and pointed out mistakes so we correct and clarify going forward. > is no mere tweak. (By the way, we haven't included LICENSE.QPL in our > source tree.) Please take some time to read up on Qt licensing if you are genuinely interested; this is a good starting point: http://www.qt.io/licensing/ cheers. -- Nathan |
