What’s wrong with the LGPL? If you dynamically link them, then you don’t need to open source your product. It’s only a problem if you want to statically link.

Nothing is wrong with the LPGL version for us. Static linking would be nice sometimes, but really necessary.

My point is that my company would be willing to pay for Qt (and it did pay in the past), but not that much. In the current situation they don't get any money from us at all.

You can link statically. Oh my god, we've been over this infinite number of times.

[Deganta]

Yes you can, but if you do that you have to release the Object files and make it possible for the customers to link them to their own Qt version.

This is a much greater hassle than just linking dynamically, so we don't do it.

[de_watcher]

Usually nobody asks to release. It's a risk to get that kind of request, but it's way more trivial than routine software development risks.
