Apologies for not making it more clear.<br>
<br>
Unlike the other licenses there is no problem with you linking a pure<br>
GPL QScintilla with your LGPL code. It's up to you whether you want to<br>
accept the additional committments that that implies.<br>
<br>
Qt is moving to either GPL & commercial or LGPL & commercial depending<br>
on the nature of the product and I want to have things similarly<br>
simple. There is an argument (especially given the previous<br>
exceptions) that QScintilla should be aligned with Qt (and therefore<br>
be LGPL) rather than, say, QtCharts. I will give that serious<br>
consideration.<br>

Thanks Phil. LGPL & Commercial would certainly be my preference too.<br>
