I've searched through past newsgroup posts and it would seem from all
the discussions that my group would need a commercial license of QT for
our project; due to the fact that we plan a wide distribution of our
proprietary software. However we are planning to distribute it to our
associates for 'free'.
You need to have a commercial license. The QT license for open source
requires that you use a GPL or GPL equivalent open source license in
order to qualify for free distribution. You are distributing a
closed source, commercial application, for sale, and therefor, you
should pony up.
Now, for the ones that you give away for your own associates, if they
are employees, you -might- not need a license for them. But, if your
intent is to give away promotional copies of your software without
opening it up, I would say that you need to have the license.
This is a fairly clear cut case of copyright violation, if you don't.
