QT is going LGPL

Holy crap batman!!!

I saw on slashdot today that Nokia is going to be releaseing QT under the LGPL license starting with version 4.5 (site). Back in the day, when I was toying with leaving the web industry and going more into traditional software developement, QT caught my eye. The thing that stopped me from diving into QT at that time, was the $5000 license fee for anything non open source.

Now that it is being released as LGPL only, there are no more entry fees. Guess I will be looking at QT again :)
