this is FUD - the immense majority of Qt is under LGPL. You can build literally entire OSes out of the LGPL parts.

The only strictly GPL parts are (from this page https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtmodules.html) : - Qt Charts - Qt Data Visualization - Qt Network Authorization - Qt Virtual Keyboard - Qt for WebAssembly - Qt Quick WebGL

All the widgets, qt quick, etc... stuff is available under LGPL.

Yeah, can't find another cross-platform UI library with Qt's selection of (permissive license-compatible) widgets. Other UI libraries tend to look like crap (at least on macOS), too.
