OpenStreetMap and Qt and (S60)

,----[ Quote ]
| Like I promised few days ago, here is the demo that shows tile-based 
| OpenStreetMap rendering on Qt/S60. If you never heard of OpenStreetMap 
| before, it is âa collaborative project to create a free editable map of the 
| worldâ (from its Wikipedia entry). You can try it at www.openstreetmap.org. 
| It might not be as complete as other maps solutions, but surprisingly, 
| OpenStreetMap coverage for many world big cities are detailed enough for most 
| users.

OpenStreetMap on Series 60

,----[ Quote ]
| The code in the example is released under the GPL, so you can take it, play 
| with it and incorporate it in your own open source application. Everybody 
| wins â developers get a simple way to add maps to their applications, Qt 
| shows how cool its framework is, and Nokia gets more developers writing for 
| its phones. Try doing that without an open source licence.

Google Drills Into Open Source Code

,----[ Quote ]
| The company acquired these statistics during the natural course of its 
| regular crawling activities, said Chris DiBona, Googleâs open source programs 
| manager. Among other things, Googleâs Code Search Crawl revealed that nearly 
| half of the projects licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) have 
| moved to version 3 of that license, including new projects.
