Looking for a free public domain QR-Code geneator.
BrianHG:
Hi Everyone,
I was just putting together a small company brochure. I wanted to include a QR-Code in the bottom corner with a set email address & prefilled subject.
What good free public-domain QR-Code generator should I use?
Does a free one exist, or will I have to shell out money?
John B:
There's lots of them on linux, in the terminal or standalone programs. I think I even saw it somewhere integrated into the KDE desktop environment. There's a "generate QR code from selection" somewhere, I can't find it at the moment though.
Perhaps one of the developers also ports them to windows if that is what you need.
BrianHG:
Yup, looking for a quick solution for windows...

They aren't public domain, mostly. Usually GPL or some other FOSS-compatible license.
However a program doesn't necessarily need to be public domain to permit commercial use.
SiliconWizard:
There are quite a few free online QR-Code generators. Do you specifically want to avoid them, say for confidentiality reasons?
This one is based on zint (open source: https://github.com/zint/zint ), should be buildable for Windows, but there are no direct binaries, so the online tool is your easiest path: https://www.barcode-generator.org/
They say there's no restriction as to commercial use.
