He has been using Qt for ~20 years, and his employer for the last 11 years has been Rakuten Viber, which has its HQ in Luxemburg, where he is using Qt professionally as a Team Lead. Vladimir has been very responsive to me when I asked some relevant questions over email. If you want to raise objection and don’t want to do so on a public channel, feel free to do so to me directly.
