  • Ask HN: Do you stay away from Contributor Licence Agreements?

    > Then do you (developers on HN) stay away from CLAs?

    Depends on the CLA, but generally I do stay away. E.g. I never checked in anything to the official Qt repository because I don't agree the the CLA by QTC. Instead I finally made my own fork and call it LeanQt and LeanCreator (see https://github.com/rochus-keller/leanqt/ and https://github.com/rochus-keller/leancreator/).

    The "weird licence which is basically a modified version of the MIT licence but with a clause that prevents competitive usage" is likely not even recognized as a true "open source" license.

    > would it be possible to relicense a fork of Polaris to MIT (removing the Shopify clause?)

    Likely not, because only the IP owner can determine who can do what with their IP under what license. If you use the software of an IP owner under a specific licence, you usually don't have the rights to re-license their work, even if you modified it.

    My response to this question was https://github.com/rochus-keller/LeanQt, but I'm not using QML nor xmlpatterns.

    A minimum and easy to build fork of QT

  • I found Qt6 is so heavy to learn, can I just use it just like Qt4?

    If you (like me) don't need all that stuff and are not up to the latest craze, have a look at LeanQt (https://github.com/rochus-keller/LeanQt).
  • Alternative widgets framework in qt?
    1 project | /r/QtFramework | 21 Jan 2023
    Right. In the Gui module you have everything you need for this: platform independent windows and events, 2D bitmap and vector graphics, fonts and even rich text handling. Unfortunately there are some dependencies in Qt Gui to Qt Widgets, but if you use e.g. https://github.com/rochus-keller/leanqt/ instead of original Qt these are resolved. So with this you can implement your own widget toolkit on top of the Gui module if you want, and still benefit from the very powerful platform independent foundations of Qt.
  • Using Qt 6 under LGPLv3
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 7 Jan 2023
    > Qt for MCU [..] seems like a big advantage over Qt LGPL-3.0. I have my doubts. MCUs powerful enough to run Qt GUIs smoothly are more expensive than, say, an i.MX6ULL with a Cortex-A7 application processor and Linux. It’s a lot easier to find developers for an embedded Linux system ...

    This is a very convincing argument. A Linux embedded system is also more flexible and the degree of code reusability is usually higher.

    > Shall we use Qt LGPL-3.0 or Qt Commercial?

    LeanQt (https://github.com/rochus-keller/leanqt/) is still available under LGPL v2.1. I will not switch to Qt 6 with my projects.
