qt is GPL open source. There is no "open core", You pay to get support, like RHEL. It is what KDE is based on. It is quite popular. It is, by far, the best such library available on Linux. It is also very cross-platform. I worked with it in the 90's on KDE, and it was fabulous then in C++. I use it from python now, and develop a hobby project on linux, that the brother in law, just receives in the mail and runs directly on windows.
fwiw, ubuntu (no 'k') will have qt in the default install with Oneiric (next month) http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/568 I think it is worth your while. all distros package it, and there are extensive examples provided with it (on debian derived systems, install -doc packages to get the examples.)
