Hello, i am going to subscribe to the indie license next week when i come back 
home. But where can i find a description of what exactly it contains or not and 
what are the requirements on my side?  I have read that in the past but i want 
to refresh my mind and just cannot find it anymore on the website...
ThanksPhilippe

Yep quite a chicken and egg problem - devs won't buy Indie license until Qt 
gets the "missing features"*, but by the time that happens, digia won't be 
offering the Indie license anymore -_-

* I'm not a mobile dev, so not sure what these are yet. Can somebody list them 
out?

Hmmm, maybe because Qt was missing some crucial features on mobile so people 
were waiting those features be available before buy?

Hi Mark,



The reason why Indie Mobile product is to be discontinued is simple: there has 
been so few licenses sold that it does not even cover for the cost of online 
sales, let alone any cost of packaging, testing, distributing etc. We do care 
about indie developers and the community, but based on the sold Indie Mobile 
subscriptions it is very clear that there was no demand to this product.



As also stated in the blog post of today, we are rather surprised that a 
product that almost no-one has bought is crucially important to so many. For 
this reason, we decided to have extension until end of August rather that 
promise that the product is available indefinitely. It will be interesting to 
see how many decide to purchase it now that it is again available.



We are continuously thinking of ways to improve our offering and naturally hope 
to find products that provide new business. We are also very happy that we have 
an active community and customer base. And we are extremely proud that Qt is a 
great product, used by a huge number of developers worldwide.



Yours,



                Tuukka

Dear Lars & Turunen:



Qt has been reading their email, but still appear tone deaf:



 > http://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/07/06/indie-mobile-available-until-aug-31st/



There are statements in that blog which strain QT credibility.



Transparency is only ONE of several significant problems.



Your feedback loops are apparently broken.



Community Crisis Response and Pricing Policy VIA BLOG is a

communications disaster.



You have manufactured haters which will not evangelize QT, further

weakening QT now and in the future.



Failing to have Qt staff directly and completely address many valid

questions/issues raised in the interest list and blog replies has

consequences, whether obvious or not.



Stop saying Open Source successfully replaces Indie, until you can

provide an articulate and concise page why instead of sending

all potential Indies to their lawyers to figure it out.  They will not.



The web site is a confusing MESS. You are LOSING sales because nobody

can clearly see price VS benefits.



Like Nunos Santos says: QT Rocks.



Just not enough people have the time (and now the money) to bet on QT to

figure it out.



They need to see other users succeeding, not users bitching.



This has been a terrible week for QT.



Mark
