Your second paragraph is entirely correct.

I don't know where you got the idea that the majority of Qt developers would 
flock. All evidence points to the number of current customers paying the full 
commercial licence being higher than the number of Indie developers.

And I'm not saying that there shouldn't be a solution. But it has to be a 
solution that improves the situation: your suggestions so far don't pass the 
math test and would make it worse.
