Re: Good?

You are of course right, it's a good question. Hearing Trolltech's official
position and resons behind the pricing policy are better than 3. party
theories.
I'm just tired of the constant nagging about the horrible price every time there is a QT article on Linux Today , /. etc, when I fail to see the
problem :)
It's only $125/month for a year, with free upgrades, not bad. If ones buisness can't handle the cost, maybe it's time to take a closer look at the buisness plan.
What the actual customers think about the pricing is the most important question, and what I would like hear. A good question for Shawn Gordon btw. |

Here I get a 400$ a month ( fulltime job ). This is also a problem when you want to buy development tools (Kylix, BlackAdder) and Qt itself you must pay for Qt license several times, a poblem when you writing simple administrative scripts or shareware programs etc. I think QT for Linux should be much cheaper than for Windows and commercial Unices. I know - there is a personal and enterprise version - but enterprise means that you have table and a few other widgets added ( ha, ha, ha !) and personal means 1000$ ! It is a great and cheap ( yes !) clossplatform development environment, but a very expensive GUI library for Linux. So there is my questions:
Are you plan to diverse your offer ? Will be cheap QT for Linux version released ( with tables, XML, and database access ) ?
