Would you please describe what exactly is shady in the licensing for someone looking at Qt?
My bigger issue is that they are inflexible with their licenses for small businesses. Either you use LGPL, which requires copyleft on bundled mobile apps (I believe) or you pay based on the total revenue of your business, no matter how small the app is, as told by Michael Dominick on the Coder Radio podcast. Can be quick expensive if you want to launch a new product line, as Mike did. He decided to rewrite his app in C# and AvaloniaUI for Windows/Linux cross platform support.

This is a major issue for me.
