I recently(about 3 months ago) started using Qt while learning C++ and I'm working on a desktop App I'm excited about. Seeing this...makes me think the future of Qt for non-commercial projects is rather bleak. Should I consider porting the App to some other API/framework? This is very sad news for me, as I was JUST starting to love Qt as an API for GUI applications. I don't want to sound dramatic, but I'm borderline freaking out guys. If you want check out my app here it is-->https://github.com/thebigG/Tasker |

No reason for that. Qt is available under LGPL and GPL. This cannot be changed retroactively and even today a large fraction of the commits comes from the community. There is no reason to believe that this will change.
Qt is used by so many projects that there will always be someone to provide the necessary patches. But it doesn't need that many patches because the code is already so mature and proven. I have several projects that are still based on Qt 4.4 or 4.8, for which there have been no patches for a long time. If something doesn't work well, I usually find a workaround without changing Qt.
