Small correction: We will release Qt 4.0 / Windows under the GNU GPL _and_ a
commercial license. We are expanding our dual licensing business model to the
Windows platform, not changing it. I'm sure you know, Christoph, but I also
know that others don't. If you tell Jo Journalist that company C open sources
product P, Jo might write that C donates P to the community, which roughly
translates to giving it up as a commercial product. And that's exactly the
opposite of what we are doing!
If you guys want to do Trolltech and Qt a favor, then always mention the
commercial licensing option when you mention the GPL.
