LICENSING

This code is in Public Domain. You may do whatever you want with it.

However, the same is not true for the QT libraries needed to build
this software, and this places restrictions on how you can develop
and license derivative works.

The original code was developed and built with licensed, commercial
versions of QT on Windows, MacOSX and Linux. Developers that wish to
produce derivative work and use it in commercial projects need to hold
a commercial QT license as well. 

If you are however working on a project licensed with the GPL you may 
use the GPL version of QT. You may release derivative works of this 
software with any license you want as long as we are concerned, including
GPL, Public Domain or Commercial, provided you abide to the licensing
terms of the version of QT you have installed on your machine. 

There are GPL versions of QT available at www.trolltech.com for X11 
and MacOSX, and QT/GPL is included in almost all Linux distributions 
since it is required by KDE. Windows users however need to purchase
a commercial version of QT (there is no GPL version for QT 3.x for 
Windows at this time.) Please consult www.trolltech.com/licensing
if you have any questions about QT licensing.


REDISTRIBUTION OF BINARIES

The binaries available at sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net were built with 
fully licensed commercial versions of QT, and can be redistributed freely. 
The Windows and MacOSX versions are standalone applications (QT has been 
statically linked), while the Linux packages used a shared QT 3 library
for better compatibility.
