I've already said elsewhere that having read their licensing terms and limits on what parts and how it can be used I would not touch QT with the wooden pole. Not interested in discussing those either. Others might disagree but hey each of us makes their own choices.

I heard Delphi has free version. I did not go into detail as I own commercial version and keep it up to date. But from what I understand you can use their community edition for free as long as you do not make more than $5000 per year.

the OSS licensing terms are the LGPL or GPL.

- https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/dev/LICENSE.GPL3

- https://github.com/qt/qtbase/blob/dev/LICENSE.LGPLv3

- https://github.com/qt/qtdeclarative/blob/dev/LICENSE.GPL3

- https://github.com/qt/qtdeclarative/blob/dev/LICENSE.LGPLv3

they can add whatever separate licensing scheme they want in addition to that but if a repo has LICENSE.LGPLv3 in it, you can use it under LGPL like every other OSS project (and those two repos cover by far most of Qt, you can pretty much build an entire OS userspace out of them).
