Electron has more permissive licensing. I'm open to suggestions for a light weight alternative to Electron has an equally permissive license and still looks good. I've done some research and I'm not sure what I can legally do using Qt without open-sourcing my app. This may sound like FUD, because it is, I am uncertain what the legal situation is, can't get a straight answer, and fear I might end up facing a lawsuit or $500 a month in licensing fees. I'm just looking to experiment with a side project and a little passive income, I'm not doing anything that would justify $500 a month.
- papaf 9y agoThe QT licencing is confusing because different components have different licences. However Qt is used successfully in commercial projects by sticking to the LGPL licenced components: https://www1.qt.io/licensing-comparison/ https://www1.qt.io/licensing-comparison/
