Question regarding Qtopia® Greenphone ISO File Format License Agreement
Message 1 in thread
Hello,
I have a couple of questions regarding the Greenphone ISO File Format
License Agreement as found on qtopia.net.
" 8. Licensee may only use the Licensed Software to create
applications that run on any device incorporating the Qtopia
application platform."
I have downloaded the Qtopia 4.1.6 GPL bits and accepted the GPL
license. Now reading the README I will need qtopiamake, a fork of
qmake I assume which is part of the SDK. Now if I download the SDK
and use qtopiamake I can only distribute the binary to users I know
have a device incorporaring Qtopia Platform (only Qtopia Core is GPL)?
Isn't there a conflict between this Section of your agreement and
Section 3 of the GPL? So If I accept your Agreement I'm not allowed
to use the GNU Compiler Collection to compile GPL applications and
distribute the applications to anyone I want (and they are free to
redistribute the binary again...) if I can't make sure the binary is
only used on devices incorporating the Qtopia Platform?
Please tell me I'm wrong and how this section should be interpreted.
kind regards
holger

Hi Lorn,
I wanted to write the Free Software Foundation to get their opinion
on the ISO File Format License but it looks like you (Trolltech) have
withdrawn the Qtopia 4.1.6 sourcecode and the SDK and the SDK License.
It would be appreciated if you could send me a copy of the ISO File
Format License so I can pass it on to the Free Software Foundation as
we have discussed on IRC.
regards
holger

Hi Holger,
We had to withdraw the iso because we are having some issues with the
supplier of the greenphone. We discovered that software by one of our
suppliers was not licensed properly.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, we are working
diligently to be able to ship again as soon as possible. We will provide
more information as soon as it is available.

Since I already got the ISO and unpacked to turn it from a vmware disk into
a xenU server, which sofware package should I be removing from that Debian
install?

Its none of the SDK or Qtopia sources that are in question. It is
regarding software shipped on the Greenphone.
