Making Qt Systems Comply To LGPL Version 3

Many companies shy away from using Qt under the “difficult and dangerous” LGPLv3. Instead, they pay per-developer and per-unit fees every year. Is this a good decision? It depends. I’ll explain step by step how to comply to LGPLv3 and discuss when to use Qt under LGPLv3 and when Qt Commercial. The hardest and most instructive cases for LGPLv3 compliance are Qt embedded systems. A Qt embedded system typically runs one or more Qt applications on a Linux system custom-built with Yocto. It consists of hundreds of packages under dozens of different licenses like GPL, LGPL, MIT, BSD and Commercial, which come in different variants. You must ensure that all these packages comply with their licenses. The Qt libraries are just a fraction of these packages. However, they come under a complicated FOSS license: LGPLv3. Fully understanding the obligations of LGPLv3 is essential in deciding whether to use Qt under LGPLv3 or Qt Commercial. That’s why I’ll give a step-by-step guide for LGPLv3 compliance in the first part of my talk. Yocto and tools like Fossology make your life easier. In the second part, I’ll discuss the pros and cons of each license type with respect to cost, features and anti-tivoisation. Once you understand (L)GPLv3 compliance for Qt embedded systems, compliance for other systems like desktops and phones becomes easy.

An introduction to the Kirigami framework

The creation of cross platform applications for desktop and mobile, that adapt their user interface to each device type has been a difficult challenge for developers. Kirigami is a user interface framework that meets this challenge by extending the touch-friendly Qt Quick Controls 2 with larger application building blocks, following the design philosophy laid out in the KDE Human Interface Guidelines. During the presentation you will be introduced to the Kirigami framework, and meet its basic components as well as the command, content and navigation patterns that implements. You will also become familiar with the process of building a Kirigami application for mobile and desktop using CMake, the Kirigami's build system of choice.

Building production-ready and reusable UI prototypes in QML

"From prototype to production" and "code re-usability" are two things often mentioned as two of the main reasons and benefits for prefer using Qt over other technologies in our projects. But how does this really look like in practice and what are the usual mistakes we do when being rushed by the strict demo deadlines that will make the code not that re-usable? Let's examine what matters we need to take care of before start prototyping and some of the best QML practices to follow so that we end up building a solid base UI code that could be easily integrated with a real backend when it becomes a product or it could be easily reused in other projects getting more than one apps in the price of one!
