[Interest] Indie Mobil Program terminated?

[John C. Turnbull]

Well, all of this is actually quite true and, I have to say the "lawyer"
stuff in particular is rather scary.

Firstly, I cannot afford to start spending $350 per month while I am just
learning a product if getting all the features I need is dependent on paying
that money.

Then, I am genuinely concerned about what kind and number of flaming hoops I
will have to jump through to get my apps into the various app stores and
fear that it may turn out for one reason or another that this is not even
possible.

Qt is giving off a very unsettling vibe at the moment and, yes, I may well
just decide that there is too much risk or it's going to cost me too much
money and go with a competitor.

What a perfect example given below by Jason H.

Go ahead and search for a QT competitor product that emphasizes that you
talk to your lawyer.

Again, its really bad optics when the word "lawyer" keeps popping up and
whacking potential customers in the face.

That is causing LOSS of SALES.

Poor John Turnbull below is now spending his money on his lawyer or a
competitor instead of sending those dollars to QT.

The horse and water analogy applies here.
