Also they ship a whole bunch of libraries without any licenses. For sure there is Apache and BSD code in there. I guess somebody could write Boston to the the GPL licenses, but the other libraries are totally a no-go without licenses. Are they using the "commerical" version of Qt? Or maybe they just got liberal with it like they did the other stuff? I think the commercial version is different than normal people have, if not now then soon. -- Waitman Gobble
