The CrystalSVG website (http://www.everaldo.com/crystal/?action=license) says LGPL too, but the GPL licence is then mentionned. Lets say it is LGPL :) > This is only the case if you embed the image in your application, for > example using a Qt resource file.

If it's not, just let me know. Rex Dieter a écrit : > According to http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/ , > "The CeCILL is a free software license, explicitly compatible with the > GNU GPL." Yes it is compatible, I've been confused by this ( http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLCommercially ) : --------------- ** If I use a piece of software that has been obtained under the GNU GPL, am I allowed to modify the original code into a new program, then distribute and sell that new program commercially? ** => You are allowed to sell copies of the modified program commercially, but only under the terms of the GNU GPL. --------------- The CeCILL licence is not a commercial one, but using it means my code won't by released "under the terms of the GNU GPL" like the text says, that's why I asked :) C.B. _______________________________________________ Kde-licensing mailing list Kde-licensing@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-licensing
