First Qt Solutions available under LGPL

Oslo, 12 March 2009 — Qt Software today released a first batch of Qt Solutions — a catalogue of add-on components and tools for Qt — under the Lesser GPL version 2.1 license. The complete catalogue of Qt Solutions will be released under the LGPL in phases over the coming weeks. The first batch is available for download now from the Qt Software website.

The recently released Qt 4.5 introduced the LGPL v2.1 licensing option, in addition to the pre-existing GPL v3.0 and Qt Commercial license. The introduction of the LGPL licensing option to Qt Solutions will ensure that they are in line with current Qt licensing.

Qt Solutions provide platform and industry-specific components and tools; components and tools that integrate Qt with specific third-party products; and cutting-edge components too new to be included directly in releases of the Qt framework.  This first batch of releases available under the LGPL include:

• MML Widget
  
• Pie Menu
• SOAP
• State Machine Framework (New!)
  
• Animation Framework
• Window Menu
• Locked File
• Thumb Wheel
  

More information on Qt Solutions is available at the Qt Software website.
