Yes, and this is where the difference between Eigen and Qt is very important. I can see many ways in which custom changes to Qt may be important for your company, but the same doesn't hold for Eigen which is just a math library. What I said was niche, was the case of having a modified Eigen and not wanting to share these modifications. This is all the more niche since Eigen is already very extensible from the outside, so the only way you would want to modify Eigen itself is if you think you can improve part of its internals, which is unlikely for most companies. Again, I understand that the same is not true for the rest of Qt. > Qt Commercial licenses are still being used and sold.
