I  am creating a freely accessible website
http://www.extra.research.philips.com/natlab/sysarch/index.html at home
as well as during working hours. At both places I work with Windows
(strongest dependency is the use of Visio). I maintain the site by means
of Python scripts. Taking the above license literal I might use Qt at
home for free, but not at work. Yes that is clear, but not stimulating
to dive in :-(

regards Gerrit
