+    \title Open Source Versions of Qt
+    \ingroup licensing
+    \brief Information about the license and features of the Open Source Edition.
+
+    Free (or open source) software is software that comes with a license
+    that gives users certain rights. In particular the right to use the
+    software, to modify it, to obtain its source, and to pass it on (under
+    the same terms). Notice that the term "free" is about rights, not
+    money. The Free Software Foundation (creators of the GNU GPL) speaks
+    of free in this context as in "free speech", not as in "no cost".
+
+    Nokia supports the free software concept by providing the Qt Open Source
+    Edition, which is licensed under the \l{GNU General Public License (GPL)}
+    (version 3) and the \l{GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL)} (version 2.1).
+    You can use this edition of Qt to create and distribute software with licenses
+    that are compatible to these free software licenses.
+
+    The support of open source with the Open Source Versions of Qt has enabled large
+    successful software projects like KDE to thrive, with thousands of developers
+    around the world using open source versions of Qt at no cost to themselves. With
+    the release of Qt 4, open source versions of Qt became available for Unix/X11,
+    Mac OS X, and Windows platforms.
+
+    The Open Source Edition can be downloaded from the \l{Downloads}{Qt website}.
+
+    Please refer to the online \l{License FAQ} for answers to frequently asked
+    questions on open source licensing and its implications.
+
+    More information on Free and Open Source software is available online:

+    \endlist
+
+    See \l{Licensing Information} for a collection of documents about licenses
+    used in Qt.
+
+    Information about Qt Commercial License Agreements is available
+    in the \l{Qt Licensing Overview} on the Qt website or by contacting
+    the sales department at http://qt.nokia.com/contact.
+
+    If you are in doubt what edition of Qt is right for your project,
+    please contact
