An earlier and unrelated scripting engine, called '''Qt Script for Applications''' (QSA), was shipped by Trolltech as a separate Qt-based library, dual-licensed under [[GNU General Public License|GPL]] and a commercial license.
With the release of QtScript, QSA has been deprecated and reached its end of life in 2008.<ref>{{cite web |last=Hansen |first=Kent |date=5 January 2007 |url=http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2007/01/05/say-hello-to-qtscript/ |title=Say hello to QtScript! |work=Qt Labs: Developer Blogs |publisher=Nokia |accessdate=23 November 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6HfSMamF0?url=http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2007/01/05/say-hello-to-qtscript/ |archivedate=26 June 2013 |df= }}</ref>
