  • KDE Free Qt Foundation Strengthens Qt
    How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt by Olaf Schmidt-Wischhöfer (board member of the foundation)1, December 2019 Executive summary The development framework Qt is available both as Open Source and under paid license terms. Two decades ago, when Qt 2.0 was first released as Open Source, this was excep- tional. Today, most popular developing frameworks are Free/Open Source Software2. Without the dual licensing approach, Qt would not exist today as a popular high-quality framework. There is another aspect of Qt licensing which is still very exceptional today, and which is not as well-known as it ought to be. The Open Source availability of Qt is legally protected through the by-laws and contracts of a foundation. 1 I thank Eike Hein, board member of KDE e.V., for contributing. 2 I use the terms “Open Source” and “Free Software” interchangeably here. Both have a long history, and the exact differences between them do not matter for the purposes of this text. How the KDE Free Qt Foundation strengthens Qt 2 / 19 The KDE Free Qt Foundation was created in 1998 and guarantees the continued availabil- ity of Qt as Free/Open Source Software3. When it was set up, Qt was developed by Troll- tech, its original company. The foundation supported Qt through the transitions first to Nokia and then to Digia and to The Qt Company. In case The Qt Company would ever attempt to close down Open Source Qt, the founda- tion is entitled to publish Qt under the BSD license. This notable legal guarantee strengthens Qt.
