    \title Open Source Licensing of Qt
    \ingroup licensing
    \brief Information about open source licensing of Qt.

    Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) is software that comes with a license
    that gives users certain rights. In particular the right to use the
    software, to modify it, to obtain its source, and to pass it on (under
    the same terms). Notice that the term "free" is about rights, not
    money. The Free Software Foundation, the creator of the GNU GPL, speaks
    of free in this context as in "free speech", not as in "no cost".

    Digia supports the free software concept by providing the Qt Open Source
    Edition, which is licensed under the \l{GNU General Public License (GPL)}
    (version 3) and the \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)} (version 2.1).
    You can use this edition of Qt to create and distribute software with licenses
    that are compatible with these free software licenses.

    Additionally, the \l{Qt Examples and Tutorials}{examples} included with Qt are provided under
    the terms of the \l{New and Modified BSD Licenses}{Modified BSD License}.

    The support of open source with the Open Source Versions of Qt has enabled large
    successful software projects like KDE to thrive, with thousands of developers
    around the world using open source versions of Qt at no cost to themselves.

    The Open Source Edition can be downloaded from the \l{Opensource Downloads} page.

    More information on Free and Open Source software is available online.
