Excellent!
| Qt is available under several licenses:
| - for commercial use
| - for use with free software (X only)
| - for shareware developers (X only)
| Note that the toolkit is the same, only the licenses differ.

I just noticed the (X only) stuff and started to wonder if that
meant that other platform users would be required to pay for Qt
to be able to use free, source based applications. What if one
non X Qt user bought a copy, built a binary, and released it to
all those other poor, unfortunate non X users?
