It just so happens that the biggest part of my work is in embedded. And while it's obvious that QTCOM is trying to establish itself in that domain… this here is merely wishful thinking:

> Your TV, car, Television, have Qt in them

no, actually neither has. And let's face it: while QTCOM does have clients in those domains… it doesn't have any huge share in either. Most use simpler lower-level graphical libs. Apart from that, you'll notice that those are Domains that account for a small minority of embedded… and a very unrepresentative one in that TVs, cars and TVs, unlike most of the embedded market, are stuff that are built by big corporations. So yeah, QTCOM seems to just focus on those big fish only now, as opposed to Nokia's strategy. As for industrial automation: don't make me laugh. Qt is totally irrelevant there.

And yes, licensing problems ARE a good reason which is a sore point, ESPECIALLY in embedded (where in most use cases you can't just dynamically link for LGPLv3 like on a desktop but have the whole mess of the build chain and update management if you are to let the user replace the Qt version).

You realize that Qt is dual licensed?

If you work in embedded like me, you already know that we make actual money. Nobody cares about license cost of Qt. It's quite low compared to everything else. We don't use LGPLv3 in Qt. We buy commercial license.

what part of the thread did you not read? We've covered that already: the other option is the closed commercial license which since the switch from Nokia to QTCOM has become exorbitantly expensive

You sound like you work in Qt Marketing, not in embedded.

> It's quite low compared to everything else

That's rather ridiculous. Most alternatives cost zero.
