I'm terrible sorry to extend this topic even furter, but it's silly,
not to say dull to think like that.

in the first place, it's not that they're doing charity. they have
plans. if they release Qt under GPL for non-comercial use, it's
because they want to increase the user base and so be able to earn
money with the comercial fee later.

And if i'm going to write software for it, when there's plenty of
alternative that actualy works flawless under windows, why should i
stick with an option that i don't even know to wich extends i can use
the damn thing? What it they revoke this license? what it windows
longhorn has a non-backwardcompatible GDI API and a newer version of
Qt must be used, and that newer version does not have a gpl version?

If i'm going to commit to something, i like to know the lengths the
other side gona commit also.

What you said was like "Hey! it's free food! who cares if it's
rotten?" sorry, but it's just too homer simpson for me.
