FOSS developers leeching Qt developers will be the death of Qt.

It is hard to sustain a business out of donations and patreons, not everyone enjoys counting pennies every month.

Also Qt is doing pretty well, thanks to enterprises, which still seem to value paying for developer tooling.

No, working for the man, former FOSS zealot let down by what means selling tools to developers.

Got to learn that only enterprises or cloud walls work out.
