Ｑ：CloverPaintはGPLですか？
Ａ：GPLではありません．CloverPaintはTrolltech社のQtopiaライセンス（商用）ですが無償でバイナリのみ配布しています．個人的にGPLではなくBSDライセンスが望ましいと考えていますので，Trolltech社の気が変わるのを待っています．

Basically the author says that because the app was developed using the commercial Qtopia licence it can\'t be GPL. The author also suggests that Trolltech want a BSD style licence - not real sure here, stretching my limited Japanses to the limit. The author also hopes Trolltech will change there mind about GPLing source developed with qtopia commercial licences.

That doesn\'t make sense to me... just because you have a commercial Trolltech license, you\'re barred from using the GPL version?  Is that right?  lpotter?

Your not barred from using the GPL version, but I think there are widgets or something that are different between the 2 and if you have developed the software using the commercial licemce you can\'t just compile it with the GPL version and release it as GPL - at least that was the arguement that the author of Qt!TreeExplorer put forth for not releasing the source to his free version. Seem that a lot of the Jaapnese developers have the commercial version of qtopia - maybe they had a sale on or something .

Doesn\'t make sense to me but then not many licence issues do

I thought it was only the other way round; if you developed using the GPL\'ed SDK then you cannot later start using the commercial SDK with the same source even if you did not release it. I\'ve never heard about not being able to release your code under GPL if you use the commercial SDK. You should be able to do whatever you want with the source if you use the commercial SDK.
