However, being LGPL licensed, I can link my software I've written to QT, and sell/distribute it without having to release the source code of my application to everyone. I have more freedom to use software licensed as LGPL with my own code than I do with the GPL (still obeying the limitations of each license)
P.s. Please correct me if incorrect and I'll amend
