  6. Re:Can't port to windows? on TOra Project Looking for New Maintainer · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Quoting from the mailing list on SF: The reason for it not being compilable for Windows is the fact that Qt is not available for Windows in any GPL compatible version and the license of the GPL:d TOra specifically prohibits it from being linked with the commercial versions of Qt. The reason for this is that previously I and now Quest does not want it to interfere with out commercial products.
    This is the author's decision, not a limit imposed by the Qt's license. Qt can very well be used in OSS projects, and it is possible to release windows ports just by allowing it in the license (small extension of GPL) and by finding someone with a Commercial Qt license that is willing to compile and release it. There are many examples of this. Back to your msg, it's _NOT_ really that simple: Qt offers many features that are difficult to find in other libs, and using Qt it is really simple to port from Linux to Win.

    Hi all,

    Actually you can just try to figure out what's going on with 2003 QQ47 using the ORSA software. It is not a simple computation, but you can try anyway. --Lino
