Rather interesting.
People making medical devices which save millions of lives each year
have to pay royalties on each unit manufactured.
People writing apps which now kill more humans than drunk driving,
aren't charged royalties.

For them you stole a page from a gag commercial 95.5 WMET used to run in
Chicago. It was for the Chicago School of Cab Driving.
"What's it cost? $25 a week for the rest of your life, you __can't__ get
even."
It is difficult to keep up with the licensing products since sales never
says the same thing which is on the Web site __AND__ the licensing
changes roughly every 15 minutes.
Adding insult to injury is the SEVERE ETHICAL PROBLEM most have with
taking an OpenSource product, adding just a tiny bit, then demanding
licenses and royalties.

I would like to ask to you stop spreading this misinformed and
misleading content.
There are two commercial products for Qt, Qt for Application
Development and Qt for Device Creation. Creating a mobile or desktop
app (Qt AD) does _/not/_ ask for runtimes for royalties.
If you have any further question, please get in touch with your sales
representative directly and ask for details and/or an offer.

Don't forget about the royalties when you start offering things for sale.
