Hello,
one question to the typical license text that is used for plugins if the
plugin is not copyrighted by The Qt Company: shouldn't it read "In
addition, as a special exception, the copyright holder gives you
certain ..." instead of "... The Qt Company gives you..."?
The Qt Company cannot give additional rights if they do not own the
copyrights, can't they?
Regards, Jochen
