FAQ
Do I need a Qt license, if I would like to develop open source applications or my private programs?
No, you do not need a Qt license.
You use the GPL3 or other open source licenses listed on http://trolltech.com/products/qt/gplexception
Do I need a Qt license, if I would like to develop commercial applications, which are not open source?
Normally, you don’t.
The new Qt 4.5 is licensed under the LGPL as well, which means that you do not need a Qt license, if your commercial software applies to the terms of the LGPL, which will be fit in most circumstances.
You can get Qt licenses from Nokia. See www.qtsoftware.com.
I have a Mac and will be the only one using your package.
My question is how many copies of your package would I need? I have a G5 tower that I use most of the time and a Lap top that is only used when I am way from the G5. Some packages agreement is written so that only one copy is required as long as only one copy is in use at a time. Other companies would require two copies be purchased even though only one will be in use at any time.
You only need one license. If you would like to use it on your G5 or laptop you need only one license.
Why does not KBasic support ActiveX controls yet?
Because ActiveX runs only on Windows and KBasic is a multi-platform language. Supporting it would mean that you would stick to Windows. Try to write your own ActiveX using KBasic instead. Anyway, you have full access to the Windows API or any DLL on Windows. Access to *.SO files on Linux and Mac is possible as well.
