In multiple entities I have worked for over the past 15-20 years, there was a sentiment that we wanted to support the fine folks behind Qt, thus licensed each and every developer seat, to the tune of 4000€. At some point, they started biting the hand that was feeding them: demanded an enterprise-wide usage audit (so we had to involve our Legal team to fend them off), changing the EULA in such a fast pace we couldn‘t keep up, created this forever-keep-paying rule…. Today, at my new employer, I use the LGPL version, like we always could have. No good deed goes unpunished, and I have taken enough battering.
