[Interest] Qt 5.15 pull out of open source?!

[Tuukka Turunen]

Hi,

Apologies for not sending the mail also to the interest mailing list. This is nothing new, as this was announced in already February 2020. Otherwise Qt continues to be available for open-source users, but the long-term support releases of Qt will be available only for the commercial license holders. First commercial-only patch release being Qt 5.15.3 planned to be released in February 2021.

Qt 5.15.2 continues to be available for all users, so situation is similar as with Qt 5.13 and Qt 5.14, for example (no new patch releases). Qt 6.0.0 and subsequent patch releases, as well as upcoming Qt 6.1 and Qt 6.2 etc releases are also available for open-source users. Eventually we will enter long-term-support phase with Qt 6.2 LTS at which point again these are only for commercial license holders, but all releases done until that point continue to be available for all users.

Yours,

                Tuukka

Please see the thread on development@ (no idea why the original message
was not posted on interest@ as well.).
