[Kbabel] Fwd: KBabel on Windows (native)

[Stanislav Visnovsky]

Hi all!

For some of you, this may be just interesting information, but I know some of 
the authors of patches are on this list. 

If you have ever contributed some code to KBabel, please, let David (and maybe 
me) know, if you agree to modify the license of your code by adding Qt 
exception described below.

Thanks a lot!

Stano

Hello KBabel authors,

Jaroslaw Staniek (who ported parts of kdelibs to windows) has now ported
 kbabel to Windows (only a few changes were necessary).

Here's a screenshot of kbabel running on Windows (native, not cygwin):

The only problem is that it is only legal to link GPL code to the commercial
version of Qt if the following exception (called "the Qt exception") is added
to the files of the application. This was done in many parts of kdepim
 already.

I know that there was great demand from translators for a windows version of
 kbabel, for those not able to run Linux/KDE all the time (or at work, etc.).
 Could you add the Qt exception to (all files in) KBabel?

 *  In addition, as a special exception, the copyright holders give
 *  permission to link the code of this program with any edition of
 *  the Qt library by Trolltech AS, Norway (or with modified versions
 *  of Qt that use the same license as Qt), and distribute linked
 *  combinations including the two.  You must obey the GNU General
 *  Public License in all respects for all of the code used other than
 *  Qt.  If you modify this file, you may extend this exception to
 *  your version of the file, but you are not obligated to do so.  If
 *  you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from
 *  your version.

Thanks,
