Quick licensing question

Message 1 in thread

Hi all,

I am considering using Qt (Open Source Edition) for a new project and
I just want to clarify one thing about the licensing.

Do I _have_ to license my code under GPLv2 or am I free to chose other
open source licenses such as BSD or GPLv3? Looking at the Trolltech
web page it looks like it has to be GPLv2 but I just want to be sure.

Thanks
Rich

This link, http://trolltech.com/products/qt/gplexception/, should be just
what you need :)
