Licenses for Code Used in Qt

Qt contains some code that is not provided under the the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the Qt Commercial License Agreement, but rather under specific highly permissive licenses from the original authors. This page lists the licenses used for that code, names the authors, and links to the points where it is used.

Trolltech gratefully acknowledges these and others contribution to Qt. We recommend that programs that use Qt also acknowledge these contributions, and quote these license statements in an appendix to the documentation.

Parts of the FreeType projects have been modified and put into Qt for use in the painting subsystem. These files are ftraster.h, ftraster.c, ftgrays.h and ftgrays.c. The following modifications has been made to these files:

• Implemented support in ftraster.c for winding / odd even polygon fill rules.

• Renamed ftraster.h as qblackraster_p.h.
• Renamed ftraster.c as qblackraster.c.
