# 16.3. Your Product License

Hereby, the KDevelop Team, as the authors of the KDevelop Integrated Development Environment, allows you to distribute any application that has been created by and with using the KDevelop IDE under a license of your choice; only depending on licensing terms that arise from the restrictions that are given by the use of code that is placed in libraries the final product uses. These are:

- For Qt applications: The restrictions of the Qt license that apply to the status of your distribution, whether it may be for non-commercial (free) software or commercial purpose.

- For KDE applications: The restrictions of the Qt license according to the status of your distribution plus the restrictions of the LGPL (GNU Library General Public License) as shipped with your copy of the used KDE libraries.

- for all other pre-generated sourcecode you are free to choose the license

Therefore you can change the default licensing as it is included with any KDevelop generated application framework or base application towards your choice, only by watching the restrictions that arise from any library that is linked to your application.

If you have any additional questions about licensing, feel free to ask the KDevelop Team.
