Hi,

> How so? It's LGPL. You can't get much freer than that.
you can -- MIT/BSD/public domain etc. provide much more freedom to the
developer. (And I prefer freedom for the developer over the guarantee
(freedom or restriction -- call it as you wish) that nobody may lock
down a copy of the sourcecode.)

In addition, using the LGPL-version of Qt for proprietary/commercial
software may be risky, because if you violate the LGPL by accident
(e.g. because of some formal issue), the Qt-owner may demand
compensation, e.g. the license-fee for the commercial Qt version
for the last couple of years...

regards
Roland
