-
-In addition, prior to November 15th, 2000, apt may be distributed under
-terms identical to the above with the following addition:
-
-Works using apt may link against the GUI library "libqt", copyright by
-Troll Tech AS, Norway, provided that:
-
-1. The version of "libqt" is licensed under the terms of the "Qt Free Edition
- License" published by Troll Tech AS. The license terms identified as
- the Qt Free Edition License below are the only such terms under which
- distribution of works derived from both apt and "libqt" are permitted;
-
-and
-
-2. The source code of the version of "libqt" used is
-
- a) Distributed with the binary version;
-
- or
-
- b) Downloadable by anyone, without fee, using a publicly-announced
- URL on the Internet, for a duration of at least three years
- starting with distribution of the binary version.
-
-On and after November 15th, 2000, the above additional terms lose all
-force, and apt will be licensed only under the terms of the GNU General
-Public License, version 2.0 or later.

-Modifications to apt in either source or compiled form must be licensed
-under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 2.0 (or later),
-but need not include the above clause permitting usage of the "libqt"
-library under the Qt Free Edition License. Note that removal of this
-clause will result in software which is not licensed for binary
-redistribution linked against software governed by the Qt Free Edition
-License. In the event that a version of "libqt" is released that is
-licensed under terms that do not conflict with the GPL, the additional
-clause above is not required to grant permission for distribution of works
-that are derived from both apt and "libqt".
-
-No part of apt is licensed under the Qt Free Edition License. The terms
-below are provided to help identify the circumstances under which the
-"libqt" library may be used with apt (or a work derived from both). The
