Hi Jakub, I checked the license notice in qswt/shared/shared_global_p.h of eclipse-cdt-qa[1] and found: """ /**************************************************************************** ** ** Copyright (C) 2009 Nokia Corporation and/or its subsidiary(-ies). ** All rights reserved. ** Contact: Nokia Corporation (qt-i...@nokia.com) ** ** This file is part of the Qt Designer of the Qt Toolkit. ** ** Windows(R) users may use this file under the terms of the Qt Eclipse ** Plug In License Agreement Version 1.0 as attached in the LICENSE.TXT file. ** ** Linux(R) users may use this file under the terms of the GNU Lesser ** General Public License Agreement version 2.1 as shown in the LGPL-2_1.TXT file. ** ****************************************************************************/ """ This license in itself is discriminating against users, so it has to go in non-free unless we can obtain it under a better license. There is a potential loop-hole in this license via the LGPL-2.1. A "Linux user" could take them up on the LGPL-2.1 offer (the file has no extra restrictions) and via the terms of the LGPL-2.1 distribute the sources under a LGPL-2.1. The only issue is there is no "definition" of a Linux user (as far as I can tell), so I am not sure it is a "safe" work around. You may want to contact d-legal@l.d.o or/and upstream about this. Alternatively, perhaps someone on-list has ~Niels [1] http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/eclipse-cdt-qt.git;a=blob;f=qswt/shared/shared_global_p.h;h=ce42b1fffee39d02caaab366c4fbefc4262d5edb;hb=a20afb4872ce4c128643b1f30bd0ec5a0420cf09 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
