[kde-discuss] Trolltech adds CDDL to GPL Exception starting with Qt 4.3.3

[Shawn Walker]

Great news everyone!

Trolltech has added the CDDL (Common Development and Distribution
License) to the GPL Exception provided with Qt.

This is as of version 4.3.3 of Qt:

What does this mean?
==================
This means developers are now free to link software licensed under the
CDDL to the Open Source (GPL) version of Qt, despite (normally)
incompatible licensing terms.

Please see this page for the conditions that apply (note this page
still reflects version 1.0 of the exception, 1.1 will add more
licenses):
