+
+Please note: the latest version of this and other FAQ lists are available at:
+                        http://www.trolltech.com/faq/
+
+What is Trolltech?
+
+Trolltech is an international software company with headquarters in Oslo,
+the capital of Norway, and with offices in Brisbane, Australia, and Santa
+Clara, California. Our flagship product is Qt, the multi-platform C++ GUI
+toolkit.
+
+Trolltech AS was founded in 1994, although the development of Qt
+itself began in 1992. Since then, Qt has undergone continual expansion
+and improvement. Qt is currently used in thousands of software
+development projects world-wide.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Is there a graphical designer/dialog builder for Qt?
+
+Yes, Qt Designer. 
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Are there mailing lists for Qt?
+
+There are three: qt-interest, qt-announce and snapshot-users. You can find
+descriptions, instructions for joining them, and an archive on
+http://lists.trolltech.com/
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I think I have found a bug in Qt. Where can I report it?
+
+Please report to qt-bugs@trolltech.com. Remember to include the version
+number of Qt, and the make and version of your compiler and your operating
+system.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Is the Reference Documentation available in printed form?
+
+No. But experimental PDF versions are available.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Is the Reference Documentation available in PDF format?
+
+Experimentally, yes. 
+We recommend using the HTML format documentation which is included in
+the Qt source archive and is updated with every release, minor or
+major. You can browse from your local disk, you don't need to access
+www.trolltech.com. Open the file qt/doc/html/index.html with your
+favorite web browser, or run Qt Assistant. The PDF files are available
+from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/pdf/3.0
+The PDF files are large, only updated with major version releases, and
+their typesetting is experimental. We hope to improve the PDF
+typesetting in future, if there is sufficient demand for this format.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+What kinds of license exist for Qt?
+
+The Qt toolkit is available under two different licenses: The Professional
+and Enterprise Editions for commercial use on all platforms, and the Open Source
+Edition for developing open source or free software for the X11 platform.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+What are the differences between the Professional/Enterprise Editions and
+Open Source Edition of Qt?
+
+You may write commercial/proprietary/non-free software only if you
+have purchased the Professional or Enterprise Edition. The library
+itself is the same. With the commercial editions, you also get
+technical support and upgrades. A non-commercial edition of Qt for
+Microsoft Windows is available. Qt for Mac OS X is only available as
+Professional and Enterprise Editions.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Can we use the Open Source Edition while developing our non-free application
+and then purchase commercial licenses when we start to sell it?
+
+No. The Open Source Edition license applies to the development phase
+- anything developed without Professional or Enterprise Edition
+licenses must be released as free/open source software.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+When will version x.y be released? Will it include so-and-so feature?
+
+We avoid specifying which features will be available in particular
+versions or when versions will be released. This way we never make
+promises that are not kept.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Are there any books about Qt programming?
+
+Yes, several. They are listed on 
+http://www.trolltech.com/developer/documentation/literature.html
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Is there an evaluation version of Qt for Windows so I can try it out
+before purchasing?
+
+Yes, see details on
+http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/evaluate.html
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I don't want to give away my source code. What do I do? 
+
+Then you need a Professional or Enterprise Edition license. 
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+What tool do you use to create the Reference Documentation? Where can I
+get it?
+
+The documentation generator we use is an internal tool. You might like
+to investigate the Doxygen program, a free tool specifically designed
+to be used for projects that make use of the Qt toolkit. Doxygen
+offers functionality very similar to our internal tool, and can link
+to the Qt documentation. For more information about Doxygen, visit the
+Doxygen home page ( http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/ ). Note that
+Doxygen is an independent project not supported by Trolltech.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Can I charge for my application? 
+
+If you have a Professional or Enterprise Edition license: Yes, of
+course. If you use the Open Source Edition your software must be freely
+redistributable and you must include the source.  The Open Source Edition
+is intended for open source software. We realize that CD-ROMs cost money
+to produce, for example, so you may charge a copying fee.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Where can I find Qt Open Source Edition? 
+
+The latest version of Qt Open Source Edition can be downloaded from
+http://www.trolltech.com or from ftp.trolltech.com, and a whole range of
+ftp mirror sites around the world. Look for a mirror near you on the list
+available under http://www.trolltech.com/dl/ We encourage all developers
+of free Qt software to upload their work to ftp.trolltech.com.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I want to port Qt to a new platform. What do I do? 
+
+If the new platform is POSIX-like and runs the X Window System, it's
+simple. Read the file PORTING for details.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Can I make a Qt shared library and distribute it with my Linux
+distribution?
+
+Yes. 
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+I found this obscure bug and I need it fixed, fast! 
+
+Qt Professional and Enterprise Editions includes a technical support
+service. We try to support the developers using the Qt Open Source Edition
+as well, and we take all bug reports seriously, no matter who they come
+from. But, of course, when there's too much to do, and our customers 
+have highest priority.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+How would you compare Qt with Java?
+
+We believe Qt to be a superiour solution for most development tasks,
+not least for performance and portability reasons. Ref:
