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.

That's rather ridiculous. Most alternatives cost zero.
