Qt is not turning into a commercial project. It has always been a project which is dual licensed under GPL (and later some of the modules were also licensed under LGPL) and a commercial license.
It's just that the Qt company always tries to make it non-clear that Qt is not open source to drive their sales.
Regarding bloat, Qt is quite modular and if you want just the widgets you only need QtBase and none of the additional modules.
- ranger_danger 4y agomost components are LGPL not GPL. also after I think it was Qt 5.6, they switched to LGPLv3 instead of v2, so the anti-tivoization clause applies.
