Hi,

I am developing in QT under their LGPL license. I am adjusting QT slightly, so that it would fit my needs.
According to the license (2. b)
“You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.”
I would like to know if there is some standard format for the notices.

I searched both the forum and google using several keywords, but I was unable to find an answer.

Thanks for your help,
Ronen

I'd put a notice on the top of the file saying something like

Modified by name, date

and mark the changed lines of code as well. I don't know if there's a standard format.
