    if you want to develop any commercial software with it, you have to pay trolltech or risk legal action.
    4.5 is released under the LGPL as well, so you can use it in commercial software for free, as long as you comply with the terms of using an LGPL library.
    In practice, the way I understand the license, this means linking dynamically against Qt and not adding any debugger killer to your app.
    All the buzzt!

    It does not, as should have been stated.
    But there is the Professional Edition that is free to students (and Team System for MSDNAA).
