o problema do qt, na verdade, eh licenciamento, q tem um historico terrivel:
wikipedia escreveu:Licensing
At all times, Qt was available under a commercial license that allows the development of proprietary applications without restrictions on licensing. In addition to that, Qt has been gradually made available under a number of increasingly free licenses. At present, Qt is available under the GNU Lesser General Public License, making it available for use in both proprietary and free software.
Until version 1.45, source code for Qt was released under the FreeQt license. This was viewed as not compliant with the open source principle by the Open Source Initiative and the free software definition by Free Software Foundation because while the source was available, it did not allow the redistribution of modified versions.
Controversy erupted around 1998 when it became clear that KDE’s KDE Software Compilation was going to become one of the leading desktop environments for Linux. As it was based on Qt, many people in the free software movement worried that an essential piece of one of their major operating systems would be proprietary.
With the release of version 2.0 of the toolkit, the license was changed to the Q Public License (QPL), a free software license but one regarded by the Free Software Foundation as incompatible with the GPL. Compromises were sought between KDE and Trolltech whereby Qt would not be able to fall under a more restrictive license than the QPL, even if Trolltech was bought out or went bankrupt. This led to the creation of the KDE Free Qt foundation, which guarantees that Qt would fall under a BSD-style license should no free/open source version of Qt be released during 12 months.
In 2002, members of the KDE on Cygwin project began porting the GPL licensed Qt/X11 code base to Windows.[52] This was in response to Trolltech's refusal to license Qt/Windows under the GPL on the grounds that Windows was not a free/open source software platform.[53][54] The project achieved reasonable success although it never reached production quality.
This was resolved when Trolltech released Qt/Windows 4 under the GPL in June 2005. Qt 4 now supports the same set of platforms in the free software/open source editions as in the proprietary edition, so it is now possible to create GPL-licensed free/open source applications using Qt on all supported platforms. The GPL v3 with special exception[55] was later added as an additional licensing option. The GPL exception allows the final application to be licensed under various GPL-incompatible free software/open source licenses such as the Mozilla Public License.
As announced on January 14, 2009, Qt version 4.5 added another option, the LGPL,[56] which should make Qt even more attractive for non-GPL open source projects and for closed applications.[57]
a licenca ainda me eh muito clara e o fato de ter comecado com restricoes e ir mudando jah indica que a empresa pode mudar de ideia a qq momento.

Aliás, quem sou eu prá ensinar a você alguma coisa sobre software livre...
