Qt is licensed under the GPL on all platforms and the safety-clause that you mention in passing states that if Trolltech were ever to try to place Qt under a close-source license, whatever the last release of Qt was at that point would be automatically placed under the BSD and available for all to use, fork and change. Just some clarifications which I thought were needed. Wade,
