What happened to the Qt license?
Good day, comrades!
Today I went to the old site qt.nokia.com, bookmarked for a long time, a redirect to qt.digia.com worked. Nothing out of the ordinary, I thought, the company has been sold and the owner is new. I decided to find out what's new in the last month (it seems to have recently received an RSS message about updating Qt Creator and updating the library version, but these are trifles). In general, I click on the pages, looking for a list of changes, download links. There is nothing. But there is a talking button - Try It. Of course, I want to try what has changed in my favorite library. The first suspicion came when I was asked to fill out a form with information about myself. All this is strange, I thought, but I remembered the shape. Yep, they send you a link by email. OK. A letter arrives, and there:
Your evaluation allows you to try Qt for the next 30 days, ending on 2012-10-29. The evaluation version contains all the functionality of Qt, but is limited to 30 days.
What happens, from the official site of Qt I am offered to download only a trial version?! I'm not going to buy a commercial license! This is some kind of nonsense. What happened to Qt, what are Digia's plans for the library?
PS: Thank God, qt-project.org presents the entire Qt toolkit without restrictions. Although with such a policy, I begin to worry about my favorite library.

DIgia is the whole Qt project, not just the commercial part.
Simply, they decided to separate Qt Open Source and Qt Commercial into different sites, though it’s not clear why ...
Actually qt-project.org is their own site.
Therefore, you should not worry about "your favorite library", everything will be fine with it =)
PS Digia is not only a commercial part of Qt, it is the entire Qt project. With its sale, Digia received the entire staff of developers.
