The conversation with anyone from management who is the least bit clued in often goes something like:

Dev:Hi Mr.Manager I would like to buy buy a copy of QT...its bloody expensive, but its great !!

Manager: Yaa..Can you not find some shareware tools to do the same thing...

Dev: Yes, but QT is much nicer, looks better, it is more powerful then a locomotive...etc.etc....

Manager: Yaaa.. But this consultant says you can do exactly the same thing with wxWidiget, TK, and GTK for FREE. How come you are not using any of those platforms ?

Dev: Welll...we like QT better !!

Manager: Yaaa.. All of our software is internal and not even for sale, so this still seems much too expensive.

Dev: But we think we can save money in the long run.

Manager: What ?!!! Its not even a floating license !!! For that much money !! You are nuts...forget it !!!

So, if it's for internal, you don't need to buy the license.
