Good point, I hadn't thought of that. Is there a form of non-free they could get away with that wouldn't force them to pay royalties to Troll Tech, though? If not, I hardly see them creating a new, unforseen expense for themselves at this stage. It is ultimately Jason's decision, though. He could decide to do neither and leave Corel in a nice big quandary. :) Yeah, that's it, if Jason plays Mr. Stubborn, Corel will HAVE to go to Troll Tech AS and try to get them to dual-license Qt under the GPL as well. Surely there is someone at TT who can be bargained, threatened or bought into submission. :) -- G.
