You are right in that Qt wasn't free enough (in
the opinion of, for
example, Richard Stallman, and I agreed (FWIW ;-)), but dual licensing

No, it was always dual-licensed: commercial and QPL. And the QPL was later
changed to GPL. Which itself afaik was only possible because all payed devs
intellectual property was in trolltechs hands...
Have fun,

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me

After a month or so log in as root and do a "rm -rf /". Or ask your
administrator to do so...
I can't recall the issue exactly, but, in
fact, dual licensing was a
solution to the issue--Qt was not free at the time, by
adopting the GPL
(and dual licensing to protect their commercial interests)
