[Qt-interest] LGPL and static linking

[Raul Metsma]

Then there is something wrong with promoting to paying customer.
4.6 we see all exiting features etc. which all are mostly LGPL.
Only thing I can see for performance increase but this isn't feature.
Then we get the increased support fees and limited request-s.
I cannot see any reason to continue use commercial licence.
It's even better to go LGPL way and provide .o files to be legal.
And the money, that I save, I can use for fix the QT issues self and
post to gitorious.
