In short, no. You know Qt is licensed under GPL & LGPL, right? > How feasible is to extract these components and make it possible to build > them standalone (preferably using CMake)?

Actually, I'm working on making the platform styles into plugins right now, so it'll be very easy to build QMacStyle standalone once https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/186909/ is merged. Keep in mind it'll still require a number of private headers, though. > And last but not least, does doing this have any incidence on "upstreaming", > should I ever decide to submit some of those modifications? Possibly, if others contribute to your modifications, they'll also need to sign the CLA and somehow "co-submit" the changes to the Qt Project alongside you. On that note, why not upstream the changes immediately and make things better for everyone? > Thanks, > René > _______________________________________________ > Development mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development -- Jake Petroules - [email protected] The Qt Company - Silicon Valley Qbs build tool evangelist - qbs.io _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
