Greenphone SDKs
Qtopia Greenphone is the hardware component of the Greenphone SDKs designed for commercial and community technology developers. The SDKs provide a complete environment for developing and modifying application software for Qtopia Phone Edition.
The Greenphone SDKs produce packages that install and run on Greenphone. They also include the mechanisms needed to make a USB network connection to Greenphone.
The Greenphone SDK is licensed for commercial use on a per developer basis (commercial license pdf: US | Other). Each developer using the SDK needs a license. If you are willing to share your source code you may also use the Community SDK, which includes source code licensed under the GPL.
Under the Greenphone License Agreement, a project may not use a combination of SDKs unless the developers work separately and do not share code.
