Well, there's no way to discuss the licensing issues (or the absence thereof)
completely without speaking about Qt.  I wanted it to stop there though. 
I think the reason for this thread is a mere misunderstanding of the 
paragraph in the developer documentation.

Thanks for your account.  That's the real life. 

From the debate on the userlinux list I got the impression that 
there are quite a few people on that list that haven't seen a 
commercial setting with their own eyes, but still they're trying 
to make a decision on what they *think* a business needs or wants. 
The debate was loaded with assumptions. 
Like "Whoaa! 1000$!  That's a huuuge amount of money!
I don't make as much in three months. 
No company smaller than IBM will be able to afford that.". 
Ok, I'm exaggerating.

Christian.
