The qt license.Is writing a program in free qt for sale illegal?
After 3-4 (ex) days of trying to find a free windows GUI design tool for c++.(curb visual windows forms for example)I decided to try qt, but the catch is that it seems to be just not free.(As I understand it, you can only sell programs written on it by purchasing a qt license)Is that so?Can anyone explain in simple language how the qt license works, and or suggest an alternative option?

You can use Qt for your product, and you don't need to share the source code, but you do need to use dynamic linking to libraries that are under the LGPL license.
And if you still can't do without static linking, then you can just distribute your object files (not the source code), and everything will be fine.
