Was a mac ‘desktop’ license used or was a Qt embedded license used to create the commercial plugin? I assume desktop developer licenses. I wonder if this is 100% consistent with Digias desktop license or if an exception was/needs to be negotiated.
Will commercial users of Ians iOS port require commercial Qt licenses to deploy their mac apps? (Is think static linking may be required to get AppStore compliance-has that been figured out?)

There are many differences, in that the commercial uses a couple extra classes he developed to use the iOS libraries where required by the AppStore (WebKit, multimedia, etc). Also supporting multitouch and such. ________________________________ From: "adam.weinr...@nokia.com<mailto:adam.weinr...@nokia.com>" <adam.weinr...@nokia.com<mailto:adam.weinr...@nokia.com>> To: scorp...@yahoo.com<mailto:scorp...@yahoo.com>; lucas.betsch...@crypto.ch<mailto:lucas.betsch...@crypto.ch>; interest@qt-project.org<mailto:interest@qt-project.org> Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 12:05 PM Subject: RE: [Interest] Qt for Android & iOS “Embedded” is an broad term and a moving target that always seems to require clarification. AFAIU Digia wont engage in mobile consumer embedded platform licensing. Android and iOS could be called ‘leading embedded platforms’ but are a special mass consumer case and dont generate commercial license revenue. Digia already has public deals with RIM QNX, WindRiver VxWorks and Greenhills Integrity for supporting and selling Qt license to custom device makers on these embedded platforms. Its great that Qt will penetrate these platform markets too. It may be helpful to remember that Qt “Embedded devices” have always had runtime distribution fees per device as well as developer licenses.. Im not expecting Digia to be involved in writing or even licensing any ‘official’ or unofficial mobile platform ports. I am curious about Ian’s IOS plugin commercial licensing corner case though if anyone can clarify that it could help the discussion. -Adam From: interest-bounces+adam.weinrich=nokia....@qt-project.org<mailto:interest-bounces+adam.weinrich=nokia....@qt-project.org> [mailto:interest-bounces+adam.weinrich=nokia....@qt-project.org]<mailto:[mailto:interest-bounces+adam.weinrich=nokia....@qt-project.org]> On Behalf Of ext Jason H Sent: Monday, April 23, 2012 9:59 AM To: lucas.betsch...@crypto.ch<mailto:lucas.betsch...@crypto.ch>; interest@qt-project.org<mailto:interest@qt-project.org> Subject: Re: [Interest] Qt for Android & iOS They aren't embedded.
