Description
Documentation structure
- Division between 3rd party licenses and Other Licenses used in Qt in unclear
- needs to be reviewed and clarified
- Must reflect the Qt 5 Module structure
- Dependencies need to be clear
- What licenses are included if I use modules X,Y & Z
- New structure has to be easy to maintain
- No updating same information to several places
- Some licenses are specific to certain platform
- (e.g. activeqt) and that should be visible as well
- Use a table structure
- Module
- 3rd party component
- Description (i.e. purpose of use)
- Platform specific?
- Copyright information
- Currently might not be 100% up to date and is difficult to maintain
- Can we remove all Copyright notices from Licensing documentation and provide them in source only. Need to check from legal.
- A script for extracting copyright information?
- Trademark information
- Trademarks might not be 100% up to date
- Do we have to have the page? Need to check from legal
- Runtime libraries
- We have Android GNU C++ Run-time Licensing page because we copy the GNU libstdc++ to APK's
- We might have same issue with windeployqt in the future
- A need for page about Runtime library licensing?
Qt Creator
- Qt Creator 3rd party stuff should be separated
- Now e.g. Botan is part of the 3rd party doc
- Should be divided to different parts e.g. 3rd party modules used in plugins should be separate
Misc comments
- Why is the SVG license file a separate page?
- qtmain and Cocoa are separate pages but they are also included in Other licenses page
