On the 22nd of June 1998, the KDE Free Qt Foundation was founded and has accompanied Qt on its amazing journey to become the success story that it is today.

​1998年6月22日，KDE Free Qt基金会成立，伴随着Qt的惊人历程，它成为了今天的成功故事。

Qt has established itself as the go-to solution for UI development because of its high quality, consistency, ease of use, and broad cross-platform support. A key factor in this achievement is Qt's dual licensing strategy: Qt is available as free software for open source, but it is also available under a paid license for proprietary software development. A legal foundation ensures the continued availability of Qt as free software alongside the commercial licensing options.

Qt以其高质量、一致性、易用性和广泛的跨平台支持而成为UI开发的首选解决方案。这一成就的一个关键因素是Qt的双重许可策略：Qt可以作为开源的免费软件使用，但也可以通过付费许可进行专有软件开发。法律基础确保了Qt作为免费软件的持续可用性以及商业许可选项。

At the time the KDE Free Qt Foundation was founded, Qt was developed by Trolltech--the company that originally developed the framework. The Foundation has supported Qt through its transitions, first to Nokia, then to Digia, and finally to The Qt Company. It has the right to release Qt, if necessary to ensure that Qt remains open source. This remarkable legal guarantee protects the free software community and creates trust among developers, contributors, and customers.

在KDE Free Qt基金会成立时，Qt是由Trolltech开发的，Trolltech是最初开发该框架的公司。该基金会支持Qt转型，首先是诺基亚，然后是Digia，最后是Qt公司。如有必要，它有权发布Qt，以确保Qt保持开源。这种卓越的法律保障保护了自由软件社区，并在开发者、贡献者和客户之间建立了信任。

The KDE Free Qt Foundation is a collaboration between Qt Group and KDE. KDE is one of the largest Free Software communities for general-purpose end-user software, and has been around since 1996.

​KDE自由Qt基金会是Qt集团和KDE的合作组织。KDE是最大的通用终端用户软件自由软件社区之一，自1996年以来一直存在。

Qt is developed as a true open source project. People from many different backgrounds join The Qt Company to contribute to the framework. Many contributors come from The Qt Company, but many others come from other companies and from Qt-based Free Software projects, including the KDE community. They know that their contributions will continue to be available as Free Software because the Foundation protects and ensures that contributions to Qt will remain open.

Qt是作为一个真正的开源项目开发的。来自不同背景的人加入Qt公司，为该框架做出贡献。许多贡献者来自Qt公司，但许多其他贡献者来自其他公司和基于Qt的自由软件项目，包括KDE社区。他们知道，他们的捐款将继续作为免费软件提供，因为基金会保护并确保对Qt的捐款将保持开放。
