Today:

"If you have already started the development with an open-source version 
of Qt and wish to move to a commercial license you need to have a 
written explicit permission from The Qt Company to facilitate this 
change. The Qt Company reserves the right to grant the permission at its 
own discretion." ( see https://www.qt.io/faq 3.13 ).

Of course this information is useless for someone who wants to change 
the license - the decision for the LGPL had been made long before. It is 
about sending the message that you should not do LGPL, if you don't want 
to be banned later.
