    So is it still apt-get purge mono-core to fix that?

    I think it's interesting that nobody takes you seriously when you mention that Ubuntu has Mono, which is a patent violating open core mess, then suddenly everyone goes bat shit insane over Digia cherry picking some post-4.8 commits.

    If Michael had bothered putting in the lines that came after that like "this isn't our preferred development model and we hope to have all of this into the open source Qt 4.8.1 release" then it may have not come to this stupid ranting and FUD about Qt.

    You want to rant about something, at least make it a valid rant. Cherry picking patches that are open source and any user is free to apply to Qt 4.8 himself is not some secret diabolical anti-Linux plot from the Legion of Doom operating from their base underneath a lake somewhere.

      Teho this is the third time I ask you. At this very moment; does Digia sell a version of Qt commercial containing "extra value" compared to the free version? [Y/N]

        Qt just took over from Mono on Ubuntu. Not as "great free software everybody wants" but as "unacceptable licensed cr.. that only the naive Ubuntu users wants". It is Ubuntus way of differentiation against Fedora.

          Yes (even though the "extra value" is quite negligible) but that doesn't make it "open core business" because it's NOT about business for fuck sake. You over simplyfy things to fit your narrative. That's not how reality works... and defintly not how you win an argument.

          I'm almost certain that you are the only person whose reason no to use Qt is because its commercial version has few patches that has not yet made it to the mainline.

            Off course it is about business! Digia is selling commercial licenses! Digia is(as you asmitted) adding "extra value". This is business based on open core sales. In short: open core business!

            Right now this is the true. Only the good spirit of Digia chan revert this. Until then(if ever) this will remain OPEN CORE BUSINESS. Now go deal with it.

                Qt Commercial is not sold because of the "extra value" but greater freedom and support for those who need it.

                They said that they will and have done so in the past.

                I would like to remind you that you are the only one to call Qt "open core business" and it definetly isn't taken as such. What you seem to be doing is redefining the meaning of the word to over dramatize the situation and that's just weak. Even if we accept your defeinition of the word and call Qt "open core business" it changes nothing. Qt Commercial is not about providing more than Qt on purpose and that has been said many times.

                  LOL. Then explain why Digia Marketing chose to make a big deal out of it. They simply want to scoop the extra marketing value and maximize sales of the commercial version. Dude, it is called open core business.

                    Only one to make it a big deal is you...
                    Compared to the open-source Qt 4.8.0 there are 118 additional improvements[1] in the Qt Commercial 4.8.0. Digia has contributed all these, and a large amount of other items to the open-source for inclusion to later Qt releases.[2]
                    [1] If they were to market it hard they would at least tell you what you get.
                    [2] They tell you that if you buy our product you get at tops a few improvements little bit earlier than in the free version (month or so). [and according to them this is not even intentional...]

                    To Digia it's more important to convince the potential customers that they do actual Qt developement and know what they are doing than to sell their additions as in itself.

                    For the fucking tenth time; it is not. You could of course contact OSI and waste their time on trivial subject but as long as you don't brings something new to the table; you have absolutely nothing.

                      Despite whatever reason you have to diminish my claims it does not change the facts.

                      Digia is adding "extra value" and their marketing department sure do advertize it. It os not a mater of little or much, it is a matter of "do" or "dont do". Right now Digia does!

                      OPEN CORE! Get over your state of denial and accept the facts.
