>If you can’t make money from Qt, it’s not because of the license.

QT stock is up 124% this year, +247,06% last 3 years.

Qt has de facto monopoly in embedded, medical, automotive, appliance and industry automation. It works in Embedded Linux, INTEGRITY, QNX, and VxWorks.

Qt just launched Qt for MCUs (bare metal toolkit for low end microcontrollers). It runs on Cortex-M with several different 2D accelerators. It's yet another market with no serious competitors.

That’s good, so why change the license now? Is it just greed?
Nobody knows what type of change they want. Their paying customers don't care because the product is double licensed.

I suspect it has something to do with some 3d libraries and code they would like to include, but I don't know.
