I have a small business license which I use for developing 3 commercial application. It is ~$1000 per year and the licensing seems quite reasonable.
why are you paying for a license? are there non-LGPL features you're using?
Flutter is a super compelling framework ( https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/desktop ), but I’d live in fear of it randomly being sent to the Google graveyard.
I do have to wonder if decoupling dart from flutter would boost flutter. Flutter and typescript, dart is fine but you know most people have another major language with tooling and what not

Knowing Google, this happening is almost a guarantee. You should consider moving to another framework with a longer shelf life.

We have no issues shipping both FOSS (LGPL) and proprietary solutions using Qt without having to pay any license fee... not sure what issues you're running into.
> using Qt without having to pay any license fee... Would you mind elaborating which Qt editions, linking etc. you use?
Qt with QML for a somewhat embedded use case. I think it hits a really nice intersection of native speed, GPU acceleration, interfacing with C++, and ease of development. I wouldn't really recommend a career out of it.
Qt used to be what I used as well, but the licensing has become so repulsive for professional use that I now refuse to touch it now (not even for my open source side projects where this wouldn't be an issue). Too bad the hopes from the early Nokia adoption days got smashed by MS mole Elop and the later owners of Qt.

> I wouldn't really recommend a career out of it. Care to say why? I ask because that's what I use at work: C++ and Qt Yes, I'd prefer Rust and Slint/Tauri. But like a prostitute I don't do what I love, I do what pays the bills.
> Yes, I'd prefer Rust and Slint/Tauri. Ah, you like masochism I see. I bet you use it for your personal projects, but not at all for commercial projects. It’s just not there yet.
Still plain old Swift (or when the itch strikes, Objective-C) and AppKit. I don’t really build for platforms other than macOS because I haven’t found toolkits that feel right elsewhere. I would do just about anything for multiplatform AppKit.
