We also use QtRuby pretty extensively. All of our apps are used in-house only, so they're not bound by the GPL per se until we release them. We're getting ready to do just that for some customers. Basically, the Qt based applications will be bundled in an embedded system. There will also be a few QtRuby based applications on the system linking to the same Qt libraries. Now, Trolltech has told me that the commercial license is for development - meaning that I have to do my linking against the commercial licensed library during my development work. However, during distribution it's okay to link against a GPLd Qt library. So, if I install the GPL version of Qt onto the computer, then there's no problem with using QtRuby apps alongside it, are there? Obviously the QtRuby sources we distribute will be freely available, GPLd I suppose. But I want to make sure there's no issue mixing Qt Commercial code with QtRuby code on the same computer. Any thoughts? _______________________________________________ Kde-bindings mailing list Kde-bindings@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-bindings
