The origin works at The Qt Company from which Qt5Ada is derived gives littl= e overt clue: choice of LGPLv3 or GPLv3 or $459/month EULA license to obta= in support. https://www1.qt.io/licensing-comparison The origin works at Kitware, Inc. from which VTKAda is derived gives yet an= other license to ponder: 3-clause BSD-esque https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/blob/master/Copyright.txt If you wish to go into the support-for-hire business, then the dual-license= choice of a) LGPL for free versus b) EULA for $______/year would be one of the better balances of increasing mindshare/marketshare but= also having a revenue stream. For my current needs, I am interested in Qt5Ada only without VTKAda. Btw, thank you very much for this crucial work of bringing Qt5 and VTK to A= da2012! You are a shining bright beacon of light in the Ada community! Ha= ve you considered that perhaps placing Qt5Ada and VTKAda as 2 repositories = on GitHub (tagged by release number) might ease access challenges and culti= vate more contact with developers?
