If I use your Qt-gpl based game to go non-free I'd need a non-free Qt license as well - depending on how your code is structured, it may not be GPL-able in that case. Alternatively, you could hire lawyers and figure out how to duplicate Qt's dual license setup. | |

| Mar 29, 2019 at 10:18 | comment | added | Nat | Thanks for the link. I'm not sure about having to put my JavaScript source code under GPL-3 license since it can work on any web browser without any change. Qt only makes it available on desktop application. Can I use a dual license to use CC-Non-Commercial for my creations (assets + JavaScript code)? | |
