Yeah wait a minute - 100k USD a year is barely one developer (Especially after benefit costs, etc) - and they say revenue too.

So basically if you're a one man shop it's an improvement I guess?

According to their 2018 report they have 45.6M EUR in sales and loss of 2322 Euro. No idea where the 100k ist coming from.

They were referring to the new Qt license. Companies with less than $100k in revenue and less than five employees now only have to pay $499/year for a Qt commercial license.

That's definitely true, but even outside the US, that's not much money. Keep in mind they're counting revenue, and employees are more expensive than their salary (Even if your salary is 50k you can still cost 70k or more).
