Hi,
The situation has not substantively changed, but your description of
it is not really accurate. There was and still is a "commercial
license" which allows for completely proprietary development without
needing to allow end users to relink the application against
user-supplied versions of Qt. The free license is the LGPL,
that's not quite correct; things have changed 2009 and Qt now has three
different licenses:
- commercial licence
- GPL (+GPL exceptions)
- LGPL + Qt LGPL Exception (because of inline-functions/templates)
since Qt 4.5
True, there are three options, but this was the case under Nokia too, which was
the time period that Steve was talking about. His description that "Qt isn't
'free' (depending on what you are going to be doing with it)" doesn't apply to
this either. Or the previous iteration under late-period TrollTech, for that matter.
