People don't automatically deserve payment for the "fruits of their labour". Only if you use it and can't find a better/cheaper alternative.

What the parent suggested was not using QT and not paying the company that makes it, but that its price makes it unusable for their purposes.

(Now, that might have been based on a misunderstanding of the licensing involved, but ignoring that, the point still stands. If one had to pay $5000 for a GUI library, and one didn't have $5000, then one could look elsewhere...).

Except that look elsewhere seems to be understood as free beer around here.

$5000 is not the price for small developers by the way.
