    Default VC++ 2008 and LGPL

    If I understand it correctly there's no LGPL download of the Qt SDK for Visual Studio?

    Does this mean this combination is prohibited or is there some legal work-around?

    You can download LGPL Qt for windows.
    And you can configure it to work with MSVS2008.
    The Qt addon for msvs is also freely downloadable.

    Do you write clean code? - if you are TDD'ing then maybe, if not, your not writing clean code.

    It's here: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/windows-cpp-vs2008

    Licensed under the same terms as the MinGW version - closed source dynamic linking acceptable, static linking only for commercial version unless your project is open source.

    Okay I thought I needed the full SDK to develop programs but appearanty I don't.

    Then what's the difference between these two categories:

    Qt SDK: Complete Development Environment

    and

    Qt: Framework Only?

    Qt: Framework Only contains the framework only.
    Qt SDK: Complete Development Environment contains everything you need to compile Qt programs, including the GCC compiler, Qt Creator IDE, etc... It's a complete development environment.

    If you using Visual Studio, theres no need for Qt Creator or the compiler, as you have a suitable one already.
