What's wrong with LGPL use? From what I gather, if you don't link Qt statically and don't modify Qt's source code, and your app's license doesn't impose restrictions that conflict with the LGPL, you are good to go. Most apps would fall under these criteria.

Have you checked their download page? :)

Here you go. Now that I looked at it, it's not only threats any more, it's a combination of threats, lies * and begging.

The point is not to discuss the properties of LGPL but Digia's attitude towards potential LGPL users.

* "In return for the value you receive from using Qt to create your application, you are expected to give back by contributing to Qt or buying Qt."

Where does the LGPL say that, I wonder?
