License of Qt? #75

Closed microSoftware closed 1 year ago

microSoftware commented 1 year ago

I don't understand the license of Qt? Should my desktop application be open-source for me to use NodeGUI and therefore Qt ? My application is going to be a commercial software. What kind of Qt license do i need for that?

You should be fine. QT has an LGPL license. As long as you dont physically link the QT binaries, your fine.

The rule of thumb is "If the user can remove the copy of QT and supply their own, its A-OK"

Though I expect the bigger concern is this seems to be abandoned (NPM explodes on install even with the correct QT and the latest node vs nvm
