Hi list, 
QT for Windows will be  under GPL for Open Source projects from now on. This could be of some interest for the Windows devs on the list: see the last note by  hskottowe in the following feature request.

Licence restrictions to the educational version of Qt (3.2.2) may mean that
I can do the compilation, but it will rely on users having the correct dll
rather than letting me package it up for general users.

Early indications are promising.. screenshots soon...

I'll be happy to provide compilation testing

>>> Salford seems to want a Windows version and to pay Paul to do the hard
yards.

Ooh! A full-blown Gnome port with HIG 2 compliance, integration with Gimp
and Inkscape? How about a Blender-style fund to release Scribus from its
QT shackles! First hundred bucks is on me ;)

It looks, like the whole "windows port" issue was terminated by Paul's
employers:

Another interesting post -

But AFAIR QT 3.2.1 wouldn't be the ideal solution...

And the article mentioned by Kevin
http://www.smallbizmac.com/qt/installing-qt-on-windows.html is worth
reading, too: "It is worth the effort to install the Qt Windows
non-commercial version, as it opens up the Windows platform to open-source
Qt programs. (In fact, the non-commercial license requires you to make your
applications available under a standard open-source license if you
redistribute them.)"

Does this new announcement about QT4 for Windows being dual-licensed help
with producing a Windows port that will work without requiring users to
download other software (like a QT .dll)?
