The Qt Company deserves the names they get called. Their licensing model for Qt is designed by complete shitheads and is engineered to mislead, frustrate, and ultimately bleed money from you in perpetuity. If your company is large enough to have lawyers, they will imply a threat of legal action to get you to pony up for their useless commercial licensing as soon as they catch wind that you're using the library under LGPL. This is such a fundamental part of their business model that you can't even use their installer any more without providing an email with which they can ask you about whether or not you're breaking the terms of their license. I like Qt. It has some fucked up bits, but for the most part, it's one of the least frustrating UI experiences I've had. That being said, I can't discourage anybody from using it in a commercial context enough. Please don't give them any money. If you're curious on specifics, just ask; I don't think a wall of text of me just listing my gripes would be terribly helpful.
