When I last did a client project using Qt they were intentionally running an older open source version (3.x?) in order to avoid having to pay license fees.
Likewise, I wonder if this latest mix of licenses can be used without fees.
- zugi 3y agoMost of Qt ships under your choice of 3 different licenses: GPL, Commercial, and LGPL. Their sales people and marketing material like to pretend the LGPL version doesn't exist, and that you need a Commercial license to do any commercial software development. But that's just not the case. The LGPL license works great for many/most commercial applications. (Watch out for a couple of the addons/extras that don't have an LGPL version.)
