Hello, hello, wakey wakey, if you are writing FREE SOFTWARE, you don't
have to pay Troll Tech even $1, the price to free software developers
is $0

Get with if your software is free software, then the QPL is totally
compatible with it, and as someone else said if you're selling
you're software and want to use Qt, what basis have you for
complaining about paying for it?
