When forking an dual-licensed permissive/GPL project, can I drop one of the licenses?
Consider an existing project that is dual-licensed GPL + either MIT or BSD.
Does a BSD-licensed project need a signed statement from each contributor?

Qt solutions have been re-licensed, can I use the src directly now
I have a commercial application that uses a Qt Solutions component. Until recently, this component was licensed under the LGPL license, so I was forced to use the component in the form of a shared library.
