Yesterday, Trolltech released the final version of Qt 4.4, their graphical toolkit which forms the base for, among a lot of other things, the KDE project. It still features the dual-license model (of course), so proprietary developers can license Qt, while open source developers can get a GPLd version (both GPL 2 as well as 3). Read on for a quick overview of the new features, as well as some findings by Ars Technica.

If you are going to use Qt in a give-code-back-to-the-developer-community open source application[...]
You forgot another one.
If you're going to use Qt in your for profit company for in-house code you can use the open source edition too.

To me, that is pretty clear.
Others may even say, but I wouldn't wanna try it, that you don't have to buy the commercial license to dynamically link to it and sell commercial software.

That one, is not so clear cut.
