Qwt license
by Laurent Rineau 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi, Qwt is a library of Qt widgets, packaged in Fedora. The website is: http://qwt.sourceforge.net/ The license of that library is the "Qwt license, version 1.0". You can find its text here: http://qwt.sourceforge.net/qwtlicense.html That license is mostly "LGPLv2 with exception". However, there is an additional paragraph that in my opinion is an advertising clause: "However, programs must still identify their use of Qwt. The following example statement can be included in user documentation to satisfy this requirement: [program/widget] is based in part on the work of the Qwt project (http://qwt.sf.net)" I seems to be incompatible with GPL. See the FSF FAQ about the original BSD: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#OrigBSD Is my understanding correct? If so, how can we deal with that? Best regards, -- Laurent Rineau http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LaurentRineau

Hello, Is this redistributable enough (for say Fedora or Debian) ? http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/?p=tools/tegrarcm.git;a=blob;f=LICENSE;h=… Not the BSD part of the license but all the cruft about tegra20-miniloader.h and tegra30-miniloader.h Just curious. Yanko P.S. and srwarren might find your opinions useful.
