Hi Phil,
Back in March last year, we exchanged a few emails about QScintilla's
license and the fact that it is now released under GPL v3 only (and
under a commercial license), i.e. no more linking exceptions as it used
to be the case before (see
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/qscintilla/2016-March/thread.html#1105).
At the time, you said: "Qt is moving to either GPL & commercial or LGPL
& commercial depending on the nature of the product and I want to have
things similarly simple. There is an argument (especially given the
previous exceptions) that QScintilla should be aligned with Qt (and
therefore be LGPL) rather than, say, QtCharts. I will give that serious
consideration."
I was therefore wondering whether you had given LGPL+commercial some
thoughts?
Cheers, Alan.
