Then you should find a solution. This puts customers / developers / users in the situation
that they depend on the goodwill of a for-profit corporation. However, there is no good
will in a profit-making business.

It must be perfectly clear that development projects are not affected by the fundamental
use of third-party Qt-based applications.

I probably will not use Qt for new projects and I cannot recommend it (but I have to add
that this decision is also driven by the fact that the technical priorities in the Qt
project have not been in line with my priorities for a few years) .
