KDE's core library Qt is now part of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) Final Release 3.1 standards specification document. This allows third-party application developers to ship a single version of their application that works on all LSB-compliant systems, regardless of the Linux distribution. KDE has always been a strong supporter of open standards and has made key contributions to the OpenDocument standard. The inclusion of Qt in the LSB desktop specifications ensures that KDE is supported through the foundation library Qt in the specification. Trolltech and KDE are both represented in the LSB Workgroup and will continue to work with the Workgroup to ensure that future products including, but not limited to, KDE itself will meet the requirements for inclusion in subsequent LSB specifications.
