From what I understand, opens source are only latest version, so > 5.15.2 will
be only for commercial since 6.0 is out. So they only support open source for
the latest release. But the trouble here is that 6.0 is not fully completed
yet, which make it kind of trouble some.
So for what I understand. 6.2.x where is x will be open source until 6.3.0 is
out, after that no more.
That would make sense in case 6.0 a complete replacement of 5.0, which is not
yet.

Dear Tuukka,
As an open source developer who has used Qt since 2009, I am still a bit
confused as to what versions of Qt6 that my open-source project should be using
over time? For example, we might be lucky enough to port to the 6.0 release,
and then to 6.1. If 6.2 is LTS and commercial only, what is the next Qt 6
version that an open-source project would jump to? Would that be 6.3? Is TQtC
going to do something like the “odd (6.1, 6.3…)” releases are opensource but
the “even (62, 6.4…)” releases are commercial only? Is there a longer term
roadmap available that explains TQtC vision on how this will work?

Hi,
Apologies for not sending the mail also to the interest mailing list. This is
nothing new, as this was announced in already February 2020. Otherwise Qt
continues to be available for open-source users, but the long-term support
releases of Qt will be available only for the commercial license holders. First
commercial-only patch release being Qt 5.15.3 planned to be released in
February 2021.
Qt 5.15.2 continues to be available for all users, so situation is similar as
with Qt 5.13 and Qt 5.14, for example (no new patch releases). Qt 6.0.0 and
subsequent patch releases, as well as upcoming Qt 6.1 and Qt 6.2 etc releases
are also available for open-source users. Eventually we will enter
long-term-support phase with Qt 6.2 LTS at which point again these are only for
commercial license holders, but all releases done until that point continue to
be available for all users.
Yours,
Tuukka

Please see the thread on development@ (no idea why the original message
was not posted on interest@ as well.).
