Dear Friends
I want to know if I can build commercial softwares using LGPL Version. I dint understand the following statements
Qt GNU LGPL v. 2.1 Version
This version is available for development of proprietary and commercial applications in accordance with the terms and conditions of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1.

Support services are available separately for purchase.




Benefit to Qt
The benefit to Qt is that any changes made to Qt must be made available under the terms of this license.

I am not going to make any changes to the QT source code. I'll just use them for my commercial software which I'll sell in the market. Can I do that or I have to go for commercial license.

This issue has been discussed a lot of times in this forum, like, for example here (http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/31693-Program-selling-under-LGPL).
The only good answer that we can give you is to consult a lawyer specialized in software licenses, because anything we say here has no legal value (and the LGPL can be interpreted different in different countries)
