Thanks for pointing this out to me. I thought that I have understood all
points of the license (but obviously I haven't).
I think I have mixed 2 things up:
The QPL and the Qt Non Commercial license.
However I think that the latter is not OSI approved. Is there any other
similar license to that which would be OSI approved??
