Comment QPL and GPL (Score 1) 372
All this bickering about licence? Those ppl who painfully point out that QPL is not GPL,
a) Who cares? If that's how you think then presumbaly you only write free software, in which case there is nothing wrong with QPL
b) Troll Tech is actually a company, and need income if they are going to feed and clothe their children, etc. There income is from selling Qt and, to their credit, they've decided they can do without the income from the free-software sector.
I use Qt. So far only for free stuff. However if I want to use it for my employer, my employer will pay for it. I think that is reasonable.
And while I'm having my 2c worth, those RedHat users who are dissapointed by RH's decision, well, don't use KDE. No reason to stop buying RedHat.
