Re: Community strikes back, first ALPHA Qt SDK for Android platform.

Hi.
I had a quick look at a few of the new source code files you added.
At least http://qt.gitorious.org/~taipan/qt/android-
lighthouse/blobs/HEAD/src/android/cpp/qtmain_android.cpp
and http://qt.gitorious.org/~taipan/qt/android-lighthouse/blobs/android-
stable/src/android/java/src/com/nokia/qt/android/QtMainView.java
do not have a license header.
If I remember the (L)GPL correctly, adding proper licensing, author, and copyright 
information is absolutely required.

Aside from Nokia's commercial licensing terms Qt is also available under LGPL 2.1 (only).
I also strongly suggest that any new code you write for Qt is licensed under LGPL 2.1 (or 
any later version) in addition to Nokia's "right to relicense" which anyone grants by 
pushing changes upstream. In the event, Nokia under Elop acts stubborn and the community 
sees the need to fork Qt, having as much freedom as possible is desirable.
KDE went through a long and painful relicensing phase after (L)GPLv3 were released.
As Jonathan Riddell was the head of the relicensing efforts, contact him if you have any 
questions from KDE's point of view <jriddellt (ät) ubuntu.com>.

Bye.
Markus
