# Qt Licensing

Qt is available under different licensing options designed to accommodate the needs of our various users:

- Qt licensed under commercial licenses is appropriate for development of proprietary/commercial software where you do not want to share any source code with third parties or otherwise cannot comply with the terms of the GNU LGPL version 3.
- Qt licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 3 is appropriate for the development of Qt applications provided you can comply with the terms and conditions of the GNU LGPL version 3 (or GNU GPL version 3).
- Qt components licensed under the Qt Marketplace License Agreement are appropriate for the development of Qt applications commonly with Qt software components licensed under the commercial or GNU LGPL version 3 (or GNU GPL version 3) terms and conditions.

Qt contains also third-party code that is licensed under specific open-source licenses from the original authors.

Note: For open-source licensed Qt, some specific parts (modules) are not available under the GNU LGPL version 3, but under the GNU General Public License (GPL) instead. See the list of Qt modules for details. For commercial licensees, all modules are available under a single, commercial Qt license.

Qt documentation is available under commercial licenses from The Qt Company, and under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) version 1.3, as published by the Free Software Foundation.

Qt examples are available under commercial licenses from The Qt Company, and under a BSD-3-clause license.

Educational licenses are available for students and educators in qualified educational institutions or universities.
