... And things which depend on it. Qt contains webkit and JavascriptCore 
which are covered by the LGPL. 

That means QtScript and QtDeclarative in Qt 4 are bound to the terms of the 
LGPL. I brought up this issue several months ago, and with the release of Qt 
4.7.4 it is documented too.

You still have to figure out what if means to you for those modules to carry 
LGPL obligations (just like before), but now at least you know that it is 
relevant of using QtQuick in Qt 4.

Thanks,

Steve.
