I'd be curious.
It seems to me that that strategy would see use go up, then some time later
commercial licensing would pick up, as the barrier to entry came down, and user
bases were established which required support, which in turn enabled commercial
licenses.

Subject: Re: [Interest] Digia to acquire Qt from Nokia
Hi,
Is there an interest on this list in learning about the business implications
of going LGPL using the Trolltech example?
Trolltech’s acquisition by Nokia allowed it to add the LGPL license option and
then continue conducting business for the next 3 years. If you look at the
aggregate business over that time it seems a useful question to ask what
happened - Did the initial dramatic license revenue drop turn into growth later
because of broader use?
Is this a topic people would be interested in and find useful?
