History! Remember StarOffice -> OpenOffice leading to the fork and creation of LibreOffice because the other two were taken over and pulled in-house ? MySQL -> MariaDB another example. With respect to KDE\LXQT QT are slowly pulling the source in-house with each release, they keep changing the licensing of it's various aspects. They are also starting to require and charge a fee for licenses. Currently I believe you can submit patches to QT *provided* you register for a QT account first, how long before you need to pay a fee..... If I cannot freely submit and have patches applied the official source, then in my book that source is not FOSS even if the source is published for me to look at. I have no qualms about using TDE as the development team have already sort of forked QT -> TQt by maintaining an earlier uninhibited version themselves. > > -- hendrik > _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
