I downloaded my copy when Qt was in Nokia's hands at which time there 
was a paid for license for commercial development and a 'free' community 
license.   I thought that situation remained but if things have changed 
since the change of ownership (guardianship?), then I apologise for 
being out of date - as so many parts of me are :-)
