Isn't it just LGPL? Why is that a "mess"?

  I'm not a lawyer, I wish it's as simple as "it's just LGPL", it's not. Otherwise Qt has already conquered the desktop GUI world, it did not for a reason: the license mess.

    It did conquer (-ish) the desktop GUI world, for a while: quite a lot of software was written in it. And then Electron happened.
