I fully agree with you. I am fully convinced by Qt, I wanted to go with Qt, but the price was too high. On the website, it is not said anywhere the price for a startup. I understood it gave only the right to develop until the go live (like an extended demo version). at 30 euros, I would not even think (and I would switch immediately). Best regards, Sylvain
