Hi James,
You asked if it is allowed for a developer who has purchased commercial license
of Qt for project A to work on project B using open-source license of Qt.
Assuming that these projects are separate (independent and not related to each
other in any way), this is possible. The reason for limitation of mixing
open-source and commercial versions is indented to prevent some person(s) who
do not have a commercial license to use open-source version of Qt for work
benefitting the commercially licensed software. This is not the case in the
situation you described as long as these projects really are separate (not just
paid by different companies).
Yours,
Tuukka

Subject: [Interest] Mixing Commercial and Open Source license for different
projects
Hi,
I am confused by the requirement of not mixing licenses, see the discussion in
this thread:
https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/interest/2020-March/034737.html
The situation is as follows: I am an independent software developer. If my
customer A wants to use a commercial license and my customer B wants to use the
GPL orLGPL license, can I still develop software for both?
For A I need a commercial license. Am I then still allowed to use QtCreator
under my commercial license to develop a LGPL project for customer B?
Best regards,
James
