Contractually. In order to accept a new licence, it needs to be reviewed in the corporate legal and signed by a corporate officer (corporate VP or higher). It ain't going to happen for Qt. It took 6 months to get the corporate CLA signed back in 2012 and Intel was part of the discussion in drafting in the first place. And at that time I was working on Qt full time. Now I spend less than 10% of my work time. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel DPG Cloud Engineering _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/development
