Hi all,
i have a question according license compatibilty.
In qtbase\src\corelib\tools\qdatetime.cpp above line 601 in qt5.4.1 i found this:

is the so called adevrtising clause which is know to not be kompatible with GPL or LPGL, so how can it be that i find this kind of license in qt source code?
What are the obligations to follow when using commercial license?

Regards,
Gunnar Roth
