QT License

[fafner]

Hi,

I've used Qt to build a GUI for a project, and I want to make the repository for it open so people can look at and download my code. Do I have to include any kind of license to do this? I'm not redistributing or changing any part of Qt, Basically what I'm asking is: should I have any legal concerns with opening up this repo?

You're not exposing any proprietary Qt code, are you? Like the headers, or anything like that?

[fafner]

No, there is nothing from Qt itself in the repo. There's only my code, UI-forms and project-file generated by qmake.

How are you licensing Qt?

[fafner]

I've just downloaded the framework, the open source one.

[z05DSL3A]

In that case I think you have to meat the requirements for GNU General Public License version 3.

What? So, just by writing #include "SomeHeaderFromQt.h" he is suddenly now forced to use a specific license? That doesn't make sense.

Thanks for your answers :) Just to be on the safe side I might make a command-line version to put in the public repo, without any Qt stuff.
