It has been a long time since I had the conversation, so the details are
coming back slowly (but faster than my dead hard drive with the email
archives is coming back).
As I am recalling now, the catch is that anyone who wanted to use the bindings
in a commercial way would also need the commercial Qt license. In this way,
they are differentiating bindings from "normal" applications. For example, if
I wrote my application SuperDuper, I would normally be include Qt's libs in
the application if I had a commercial Qt license, but for bindings, they
would not permit that kind of situation.
(I say "commercial" in the generic sense for proprietary, enterprise license
or whatever the phrasing is.)
