Trolltech Discontinue Non-Commercial Qt

Posted by timothy on from the tradeoffs-and-obligations dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Trolltech has quietly discontinued their non-commercial version of Qt for Windows. This eliminates Qt as a choice for those wanting to develop free multi-platform software." Actually, according to the linked page, "if you write Free software (Open Source software covered by the GPL) you are welcome to download and use the Free Edition of Qt," and Trolltech points out that one can buy the current edition of Qt -- seems fair enough.

    In the free software world, QT is just a dependency for KDE (hence, only the free *nix version is important). Other libraries such as WxWindows are already more widely accepted by free software developers.
