Two days ago Nokia announced that Qt will have LGPL as a license option for its 4.5 version (to be released in March).

I am a proud GNOME user and a GTK fan but I must recognize the power and flexibility of such a framework as Qt and I am glad it will now be available with a more permissive license. Of course it also kind of makes one think about the old GTK/Qt matters… we’ll see how stuff gets handled. Another important question is also what is the PyQt move? Will it also have the new license option?
