The plan is that the OS X version will just be added to the existing 
UNIX/Windows bundle. However the price of that bundle will rise, but the 
renewal cost will stay the same (so existing customers will be unaffected by 
the increase).

You users must not be allowed to access the Qt API, otherwise they become Qt 
developers and need licenses of their own. At the minimum, your EULA with 
your customers must state that they are not allowed to do this.
