    Developing commercial software

    I see that if you distribute Kubuntu you must distribute source code. But what if you have a valid QT commercial license, and you want to build a KDE application. My application just links against KDE, so do I have to distribute my source, or does the QT commercial license supersede KDE's GPL license

    Thanks for any information

    There is no superseding of the GPL, I dare say

      I think the Qt commercial license supersedes everything.

        Seems to be everything you need to know, I would figure that if you used Qt to create a complete standalone app using a commercial license of QT it's your's to do as you please with, if you have created an app that relies on GPL libraries or other GPL code then things are gonna get a bit more complicated (depending which GPL license they are under) and you should seek proper legal advice.
