No, that's not true. The Qt Company makes stuff open source but it's open source under a license (GPL) you don't like because you want LGPL or even something more liberal that would allow you to use Qt for free in your closed-sourced application.
- ptx 5y ago> No, that's not true. Which part is not true? It all looks correct to me.

- zxspectrum1982 5y agoLGPLv3 is useless for people developing proprietary applications, which was what I was answering to. Those people want LGPLv2.1, which is how Qt used to be licensed during Nokia times.
- gmueckl 5y agoHow is the LGPLv3 materially different from LGPLv2.1? It's perfectly possible to use Qt under LGPLv3 in a closed source program with dynamic linking without much fuss.
