But Qt chose to release under the LGPL. If they had wanted to restrict unpaid use of Qt to Free and Open Source software, they could have done so with the GPL licence.
- jcelerier 6y agothe point is not to restrict - it's to give back when you have more than enough capital to do so. Like, anyone can go to a food bank charity to have a free meal. If you have a 5-digit monthly salary, that is still a very shitty thing to do, even if you and everyone else plays by the rules.
