Linuxâ„¢ applications are not ordinarily considered a GPL derivative. Why then QPâ„¢ applications are?

Indeed, past accepted use demonstrates that in the case of Linuxâ„¢, any application that runs in the User Space is not ordinarily considered a GPL derivative, (provided it uses standard system calls). However, statically linked binaries that run in the Kernel Space are presumed to be Linuxâ„¢ derivatives. Moreover, binary-only distributions running in either the User Space or the Kernel Space could still be considered GPL derived works.

(See the online article "Linux GPL Derivatives in a Nutshell") In contrast to Linuxâ„¢, applications based on the QPâ„¢ frameworks are always statically linked with the QPâ„¢ library. Therefore, QPâ„¢ itself must be considered an inseparable "part of a whole". GPL Section 2 clearly prescribes that in this case "the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this GPL License".

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
