After Nokia purchsed Trolltech last year, doubts arose about how Nokia would handle the dual licensing model of Qt, the advanced cross-platform toolkit which lies at the base of the KDE Free software desktop. As it turns out, these doubts were unfounded, as Nokia today announced it's going to add the LGPL to Qt's licensing model, starting with Qt 4.5.

I'm wondering what all the restrictions left are - if one would choose LGPL above commercial license - for developing a closed application.
* You cannot staticly link Qt(who want a big binary?) only dynamicly.
* You cannot go from LGPL to Commercial license.
Any other restrictions? Or does this somewhat sum it all up?
