An often arising question is: ''Can I use KDE to develop commercial applications?'' - '''Yes, you can develop commercial applications for KDE'''. KDE's foundation libraries {{path|kdelibs}} and {{path|kdepimlibs}} but also KOffice libraries and several of its major apps are licensed under the LGPL, which means you can link closed source applications against those libraries. A valid Qt developer license is required for closed source development, however.
