<br>
I think veskuh will be the best to answer these questions.<br>
<br>
Currently, I don't think any work has gone toward upgrading QtLocation to version 5.6 yet, as we're busy with other projects. Originally the decision to not take QtLocation 5.6 into use along with the rest of the Qt 5.6 libs was, I believe, because of the
different licensing of QtLocation. I think veskuh would be the best person to describe our intent going forward, and possible roadmap for updating.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>it has been rather quiet regarding QtLocation 5.6 during the "first quarter of 2017" (see earlier emails in this thread). I would like to continue my work on navigation/mapping solutions for SFOS and the uncertainty regarding QtLocation is just slowing
everything down and lead to major inefficiency in the development of this important aspect of SFOS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I would like to know what is the state of QtLocation and its future in SFOS. From the activity in

https://git.merproject.org/mer<wbr>-core/qtlocation/activity</a> I conclude that the developers working on it are @chriadam, @pvuorela, @xfade, Slava Monich, and @msmirnov. Maybe some of you can take time and reply. In particular:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Has any work started on upgrading QtLocation to 5.6? </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* Has Jolla decided whether they want to work on QtLocation/5.6?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* If its decided that its impossible to include QtLocation due to licensing issues, can the community help to provide the QtLocation via our packages?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>* If you just haven't had time for working on QtLocation 5.6, how can we help and where should we start?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It looks to me that QtLocation is the component that is pushed for map applications development. I presume that it would be wise to use it as well and not waste time to re-invent something similar. Or is there anything considerably better and we should
work on that instead?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since it is developers channel, its an appropriate place to ask, I believe. <br>

They were not wordy, but my interpretation is that nothing has changed regarding QtLocation being allowed in store apps once it's upgraded to a stable release, i.e. >= 5.6. "Aiming to have solution for it in the first quarter of 2017" doesn't sound too bad,
I was worried we were at a dead end.<br class="m_-673514092192338185m_-4200064606357810846m_1434401806986309799m_7466154979642257609m_7959231788451303031m_-9120633840461778833gmail_msg">

Reading various other unclear sources, I see 5.5, 5.6 and 5.7 all mentioned for the change -- maybe it was pushed back a few times? I have found no web page that would actually list the licenses under which Qt modules are available. Can anyone from Jolla comment?
