It's LGPL, you don't need to pay. Also...

> Why pay to develop for a particular platform?

Because Qt is not a particular platform but one of few cross-platform GUI framework.

I would definitely call Qt a platform, just like Java is a platform (it actually has a lot of similarities to Java). The platform happens to run on multiple other, lower-level platforms.

I would definitely call Qt a toolkit, because, you know, honesty. Java is a language you know.
