What do you mean exactly. It is GPL on all platforms.

I cannot say if there are differences, but I don't believe.
We are using GPL version on all platforms.
There are some additional packages (QSA, Qt Solutions, Teambuilder)
which are not available under GPL on all platforms but the Qt, Qtopia
and Qtopia SDK will be most probably the same on all platforms
and under all licenses.

I don't care which toolkit you choose. I just don't like to see
that some people for some strange reasons repeat to say that
Qt is not free, which is not true.
