Spot the difference?

Interestingly,
<URL:http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faqs/general.html#Q8> says:

| Qt for Microsoft Windows is only available as Professional and
| Enterprise Editions.

Seems Trolltech are themselves confused.

Not IMHO. See below.

Qt/X11 is dual licensed under QPL and GNU GPL. But Qt/Windows is
gratis for non-commercial use only. Qt/Mac is (currently) available as
a binary only evaluation verison. I don't know what the licensing plans
are for that platform.

If I write free software, I base it on something that is free
everywhere and for everyone. Just my EUR 0.02.

(It's getting off-topic, that's my last comment on the Qt issue.)
