Yes, it is very good that Trinity has its own maintained TQT3 fork of QT3,
though not so much for licensing considerations, but so it works correctly
with Trinity. The free license of QT3 wouldn't change.
I scoffed at the QT "offering changes" but read through the way the news
was presented on various sites, and realized that this wouldn't affect us
on Linux one bit. Distros don't generally don't use the LTS releases of QT
for Plasma. (I don't do Plasma anyway, I have none of that messiness
installed... I only do a standalone build of QT5 for a few applications. I
use only Trinity, with fluxbox to fall back on (e.g. to work on Trinity :-)
As for the binaries, that's more for the Windows platform that it would
matter. Who would use QT binaries from them on Linux.

Hi all,
I do not know if you have noticed a recent change to the original Qt
libraries from which our own TQt library was forked:
https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-offering-changes-2020
I have to say that it is comfortable that we have our own fork - TQt,
which
is and will remain publicly available without restrictions.
Cheers
