Trolltech on ilmoittanut julkaisevansa Qt:n jatkossa GPLv2-lisenssin lisäksi GPLv3-lisenssillä.

“We decided to add GPL v3 licensing after consulting with both KDE e.V. and the Free Software Foundation,” explained Eirik Chambe-Eng, co-founder of Trolltech.

“I am very pleased that Trolltech has decided to make Qt available under GPL v3,” commented Richard Stallman, author of the GPL and president of The Free Software Foundation. “This will allow parts of KDE to adopt GPL v3, too. Even better, Trolltech has made provisions for a smooth migration to future GPL versions if it approves of them.”
