Semantic UI - what is status of Font Awesome licence? - semantic-ui

Semantic-UI is released under an MIT licence.
However it is documented as including Font-Awesome
Semantic includes a complete port of Font Awesome 5.0.8 designed by
the FontAwesome team for its standard icon set.
and as far as understand the Font-Awesome documentation, it is not released under the MIT licence, if one wants to host Font-Awesome one needs the Pro licence.
What, if any, limitations apply to my use of Font-awesome in my product, in a purely self-hosted environment?

You don't need a pro license to host the free version of Font Awesome. They even teach you how to host it yourself.
About the limitations, as seen on the Font Awesome Free's license, the only thing you can't do is:
Use the Font Awesome name in the name of your project.

The Font Awesome docs state:
Font Awesome Free is free, open source, and GPL friendly. You can use it for commercial projects, open source projects, or really almost whatever you want.
Attribution is required by MIT, SIL OFL, and CC BY licenses. Downloaded Font Awesome Free files already contain embedded comments with sufficient attribution, so you shouldn't need to do anything additional when using these files normally.
I would assume Semantic UI follows the above guidelines.

How to view pdf using QT framework on blackberry playbook

I had asked before also for rendering pdf but its in blackberry JAVA development.
But currently I want to know , is it possible to render a PDF in the playbook using native sdk 2.0.0 with the QT framework.
If it is possible then can you suggest me some example if it exist on the google?
Is it possible with any third party library i.e of c++??
Thanks in advance.
It is possible, provided you agree to the licensing of the third party library.
Open source world has two know libraries for PDF rendering:
Poppler
MuPDF
Both provide bindings for Qt, the bad part is that both are licensed GPL.
However, the firms working behind both libraries provide commercial licensing options.
For commercial licensing:
GlyphandCog provides commercial licensing for XpdfWidget/Qt
Artifex Software, Inc. provides commercial licensing for MuPDF.

Image Annotation Alternatives on ASP.NET

What are the alternatives to make annotations on images, using ASP.NET?
We are using http://www.atalasoft.com/products/dotimage, but I wonder if there are free alternatives, or perhaps better.
[Disclaimer: I'm the author]
The ImageResizing.Net library offers watermarking which can pull strings from the image querystring.
About 60% of the library is free and open-source (MIT style) - the core and about 20 plugins. The other 20 plugins are nearly as free (in terms of restrictions and source availability), but require inexpensive licenses.
Watermarking is part of the paid Design bundle, which includes 13 plugins and requires a $99 freelancer or $249 enterprise-wide license. The bundle includes PSD & RAW support, about 20 image filters, seam carving, automatic whitespace trimming, and a bunch of other features.
I think you'll find it is very competitive with Atalasoft's offerings for a fraction of the price. The source code for everything is publicly downloadable and permits modification and many kinds of redistribution.

Qt Symbian Fonts

I have created a Qt app for the Nokia Ovi store but I know want to update the font int the QML file, but just changing it in the designer doesn't change it on the symbian device. I have checked google but nothing I can find looks right. If it helps the font I want to use is Kristen ITC but it might change.
If you want to use a custom font, you'll need to deploy that font along with your application. This blog article should help you out, though I don't use Symbian so perhaps another answer can go into more detail.
Once font is available on the device, you'll need to add it to your application using QFontDatabase::addApplicationFont.
You'll also want to look into licensing whichever custom fonts you deploy with your app. Kristen ITC, for example, is included with Microsoft products, but licensed by the Monotype Corporation.

KDE themes used to style Qt4 application

can kde themes be used to style multi platform (linux/windows) Qt4 applications ?
Yes, if you build/copy all dependencies.
This is not possible. Qt uses every platform's native API to render the widgets, hence platform specific themes cannot be applied on other platforms.
Since themes maybe third-party, it becomes more difficult.
If you're talking about Qt Styles(QStyle) that are used in traditional C++ KDE themes(non Plasma or ini themes) then yes you can do that to some extent, though you may have to adjust/fix some(or more) things since their mostly written with the KDE theme purpose in mind. One good example would be to fix or ensure the cross-platform compatibility(the theme might use additional platform specific libraries). Then there's also the licensing issue that you definitely have to take into consideration, since most of those themes are under GNU GPL.
If you're talking about Qt Stylesheets, you are out of luck, since currently KDE doesn't support any way of theming using Qt Stylesheets, thus you have no KDE Stylesheet themes to use.

Are there some good and tension free custom fonts available to use with sIFR, #font-face etc?

Is there any free font available to use with sIFR #font-face etc?
if i use those then nobody will file a court case on me, no body will send any legal notice to me.?
Are thee good tension free, license free fonts available to use personally, commercially in my projects, in client projects?
Nobody should send any notice to my lovely clients about font?
http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface
http://www.fontspace.com/ is a good resource. Visiting the page for the font shows the fonts licencing info, but its probably good practice to visit the font authors website and look for the copyright licencing info. Sometimes licencing info will be contained within the downloaded font file in a text document. Fonts that are freeware and have a 'commecial use allowed' licence is what you're looking for.
