I'm not sure what you are referring to? It has been LGPLv3 currently was LGPLv2.1 but v2.1 is not recommended anymore so they dropped it. "LGPLv2.1 is an older version and not recommended by the Free Software Foundation for new projects anymore."

It's dual licensed and it is rather prominent everywhere on their webpage that it is a dual licensed Open Sourced / Commercial project. I have found Qt to be very Open/Free friendly, unless you have other evidence to prove other wise?

If your referring to the commercial aspect I'm not sure since I only use the LGPL license.

Seconded. Also, the KDE Free Qt Foundation [1] has slowly extended the reach of their Agreement to include all versions of Qt across all platforms, including most additional modules maintained by Qt Company.

[1] The KDE Free Qt Foundation maintains a legal contract between KDE e.V. and the owners of Qt that mandates that, should Qt not see a new release for longer than 12 months, the last version of Qt be re-licensed under a permissive BSD-style license.
