... what's the trouble with LGPLv3?

Is Qt under LGPL 2.1? Were the changes so drastic?

The main problem with LGPLv3 is the anti-tivoization clause. That means you should basically provide the end user a way to replace the Qt libraries with their own. On embedded systems this can mean headaches for companies releasing commercial products.

Qt from 4.8(?) To 5.6 offered an LGPL2 license too but after that it's mostly LGPLv3 i think.
