yeah but you also have commercial licensing with Qt specifically :))

or we are going to see an explosion of vibe-coded GPL apps.

anyhow, the likes of Linear and Notion ain't gonna abandon web and go Qt. or!! if we are very lucky, we can see a native app framework that ticks all the boxes of a modern UI framework and is permissively licensed, but we need this crunch to stay there for years.

That doesn't apply so long as you are willing to accept the LGPL. In practice that means you can statically link everything except QT so that the end user is free to drop in a modified QT version if he would like.

You can even statically link QT if you really need to as long as you dump the unlinked objects on some server somewhere.
