Here's the transcript of my talks with Qt recently.  You'll have to
start at the bottom and read up if you want the entire history...

Hi Troy,

By purchasing a license of the Windows product you can do exactly the same as 
with the Linux product, except as mentioned in my last mail, give the Qt source 
code away. We do not charge any royalties or volume-dependant fees so this 
would be a one-time thing in terms of the cost. 

Please note that Qt is sold including 12 months of support and free upgrades. 
Should you not wish to renew the support and upgrades subscription you are 
still free to use Qt for as long as you wish, but will not be eligible to 
receive support and upgrades.

I hope this helps!

Best regards,


John
