QT framework v4.5 to be released under LGPL

Thomas wrote this on the firebird-general mailing list

pretty off-topic here, but IMHO even interesting for Firebird users,
because Firebird/InterBase can be accessed via the QT framework.

Formerly licensed under GPL and a commercial license for closed source
development, releasing QT under LGPL is a very “interesting” move from
Nokia.

Especially for QT-based embedded devices, Firebird might be an
interesting option for an embeddable database, if:

* there is a stable Firebird specific (not the current InterBase one,
even if it might work now) QT SQL driver/module implementation available
* Firebird is cross-compilable for ARM, … (something which has been
discussed on firebird-devel from time to time. AFAIK, there is a private
ARM port of Firebird somewhere)

Ah well, just letting you know … 😉

Firebird RDBMS GUI Administration Tool gfb 1.0 released

This administration tool is targeted at Linux Operating System and written in pure C, with GTK and GLADE interface.

Compared with its former generation of kfb (written in qt) this application is much faster,

All libraries used in this application are open-sourced free software, and because of GTK’s lisence, this application itself is not required to be open-source, and can be used for any purposes free.

Many new functions have been added into this application since the publication of kfb, and gfb is based on Firebird 2.1.1
