Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I missed that option.

So, from reviewing the website once more, and also consulting wikipedia on the terms of LPGL, am I correct in thinking that under the terms of this license:

i) I can produce a standalone 'executable'/installable file which is not open source, but dynamically links with qt libraries at runtime.

ii) The qt runtime libraries are already present on the maemo device/N900?

iii) Statically linking with qt libraries is not permitted if my code is closed source.

iv) I presumably cannot in anyway ship modified versions of the qt libraries. However, inheritance of the provided qt classes is permitted.

I wish these questions were addressed a little more clearly and obviously on the website - perhaps they are and I have again missed them.

Thanks for any help in clearing up these issues.

Regards,
spann
