QT seems interesting.

For those like me who’ve never used QT: As long as you don’t statically link the QT libraries you don’t have to open source your entire commercial application. I’m not a lawyer.

I provided a link from the FSF that shows that this is not the case just below - you can statically link proprietary apps with LGPL qt.

“(1) If you statically link against an LGPL'd library, you must also provide your application in an object (not necessarily source) format, so that a user has the opportunity to modify the library and relink the application.”

So for LGPL. As a commercial application developer I’m not sure I’d want to do that. I’d then have to field support requests for that object file.

Still, good to know.
