    10  * \anchor faq-GPL Q. Is it possible to release an LGPL version of the

    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.

    17  * \anchor faq-non-QIODevice Q. Is there any way to use QuaZipFile in Qt

    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.
