But this risk isn't new to closed-source developers (especially coming
from windows). There is always the chance that the next version of the
used toolkit or tool will be more expensive or even gone (Borland Kylix
anyone). Windows developers are almost used to rewrite their software once
in a while (Win32->MFC->.Net). :-)

And Qt has to compete with other toolkits (Gtk, wxWindow) so there is a
good chance that the price will stay reasonable.
