Are there that many people interested in commercial licenses ? I think that more people are looking to have *fun* and feel welcome contributing, especially in the OSS world. Look for instance how contributions are handled in: * Rust: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/49173 * Electron: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/12301 * Dear ImGui: https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/pull/1638 * Python: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/6142 Overall, it feels much more frictionless to contribute to these kinds of project - and it does not really matter if this is true in practice it is or not: most people don't judge with cold, hard scientific facts, for the better or worse, especially when considering decisions such as "to which famous open source project should I contribute?". Another point is that there is no real Qt ecosystem : it's either contribute to big entities such as Qt itself & KDE or have a small forgotten library used by a whole 3 people on github / inqlude / qpm, but there does not seem to be easy "entryway drug" which can easily discourage newcomers.
