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.

"Qt can also be used in free software as well as proprietary software.
Only if you buy a license for proprietary software. "
Err, no.
Qt can be used in free software without having to buy a license.
If you do buy a license, then Qt can be used for proprietary software as well, not instead of.

Qt can also be used in free software as well as proprietary software. I am absolutely certain because I use it for free software as a KDE developer and for proprietary software as a developer in a software company.
Actually some of the alternatives have only plain LGPL licences, which means it is not possible to link them or parts of them statically into a product without distributing all the rest as relinkable object files as well.
There is no way our management would approve these.
