[Development] Qt LTS & C++11 plans (CopperSpice)

[Ansel Sermersheim]

Hi Marc,

We do own copperspice.com, .org, .net, and .info. We set .com up as the 
primary site for no particular reason.

There is no question that making money is of value.  However, our main 
goal at this time is to develop CopperSpice and share it with the 
community.  We believe money will follow but it is not our primary goal 
or direction.

We have a few beta testers, an excellent project mentor, a couple of 
people contributing changes, and we are working with someone on the 
packaging process with various unix distributions

As to your question about relicensing, can you please elaborate on what 
this is referring to? As long as Qt is covered by the current license, 
we can not relicense CopperSpice since we are bound by the terms of the 
licenses under which we forked the code.
