Man, Qt is a LIBRARY, they should use the LGPL
Don't you understand?? If they license it under the GPL, you have to pay for comercial use. All libraries should be licensed under the LGPL, at least for anything that is basic infrastruction like a GUI toolkit.

If the money went to the comunity as a whole, I would not have one problem with this, but we can not have one scum bag company with a toll booth. (ok, in this case Trolls under the bridge).
