if building cmake on windows is free qt license sufficient to build cmake-gui?

Hi,

We are building cmake on our windows boxes and have a request to support cmake-gui. I cannot find directions that indicate what Qt license (free or paid) is required to allow us to build cmake-gui.

Thanks for any guidance,
Ken

Ideally ask your company’s lawyers to make sure as I am not one. :wink:

But my understanding is that you just want to build cmake-gui and use it. The free (L)GPL licensed version of QT should be fine for this as you are not doing any modifications to QT or the cmake code (which you would have to share according to the licenses). Neither are you statically linking to QT in your own code which could be a problem with the (L)GPL IIRC.
