I think this is the reason of the timing of this post.

Because else, this post is just reminding the existing contracts around Qt.

Maybe because Qt6 is on the horizon? Also they changed the license of some Qt modules just 2 months ago: https://www.qt.io/blog/change-in-open-source-licensing-of-qt...

Can you briefly explain (or link an existing explanation) a summary of the changes the Qt Company is asking for, to someone who's interested but not intimately familiar with the details?

It says in the article and the quote that the proposed changes are still unclear.

[hoistbypetard]

I understand that. I was hoping someone who's closer to the matter could characterize them in broad strokes even if details were still unclear.

I know nothing more than you do.
