Qt is licensed under the LGPL which allows commercial use, either statically or
dynamically linked, without problems. The only caveat is that if you modify Qt
itself, you must release your modifications to Qt as open source.

If native code isn't a hard requirement, you may want to take a good look at
Python and PyQt. Your app might run a few miliseconds slower but, compared to
C++, you'll develop it in half the time and with some 3x less code to maintain.
You users will appreciate more features & fewer bugs far more than imperceptible
performance gains ;)
