"Qt, the highly polished, well documented, modern GUI toolkit owned by
Nokia will be available under the LGPL starting with version 4.5! It
was previously only mainly available under the GPL and a commercial
license. Selling licenses was an important part of Qt under Trolltech
as it was the company's main source of income, but Trolltech is a
fruit-fly compared to Nokia, who want to encourage and stimulate the
use of Qt Everywhere. This is fantastic news for all commercial
developers looking to create cross-platform applications without the
need to buy a $4950 multi-platform license per developer."
