+ − 11 * QuaZip?
+ − 12 *
+ − 13 * A. I do not know much about licensing, so I can answer for sure, but
+ − 14 * QuaZip was developed using Open Source edition of Qt, so I see no
+ − 15 * way it could be released under anything except GPL.

+ − 18 * where you are supposed to use normal (non-zipped) file, but not
+ − 19 * through QIODevice API?
+ − 20 *
+ − 21 * A. Usually not. For example, if you are passing file name to some
+ − 22 * database driver (like SQLite), Qt usually just passes this name down
+ − 23 * to the 3rd-party library, which is usually does not know anything
+ − 24 * about QIODevice and therefore there is no way to pass QuaZipFile as
+ − 25 * normal file. However, if we are talking about some place where you
+ − 26 * pass file name, and then indirectly use QFile to open it, then it is
+ − 27 * a good idea to make overloaded method, which accepts QIODevice
+ − 28 * pointer. Then you would be able to pass QuaZipFile as well as many
+ − 29 * other nice things such as QBuffer or QProcess.
