I don´t want to have a licensing argument here, so I will just say my
stuff and not argue :-)
a) If you develop free software, Qt is free, and it will always be free
(read the QPL, and read the KDE-Free Qt foundation papers, all in
www.troll.no, I am the guy that signed the statutes at the bottom right,
last page ;-)
b) If you develop commercial software and you release the sources for
your software, it´s the same as a)
c) If you develop anything and not provide source, it will cost you. If
you have one guy doing the UI (and with Qt, you rarely need more), it
will cost you $1500. If using Qt saves you 3 man-weeks, Qt paid itself,
IMHO.
