I don't follow. What prevents commercial software from using simultaneously a commercially-licensed Qt and LGPL-licensed Eigen? > Note I'm not a Nokia employee, just a commercial licenser of Qt, but I also > cannot ship any opensource code wih my products. If Qt uses eigen, then I > can't ship it. Why would you ever have to ship Eigen with your product? As part of a SDK? Eigen is only a build-time dependency, there is no runtime library to ship. Even assuming you had to ship Eigen alongside your product, how could that possibly be a problem? It's just an assortment of text files; that they carry a LGPL license doesn't imply that the rest of your product does.
