QT allows licensing as LGPL, which is fine for commercial development.

Does LGPL allows developers to restrict source-code distribution ? Sorry, i'm not much aware of it's legal sides.

LGPL allows you to release your program without having to distribute *your* source code. However, you have to provide the source code for the LGPL bits (ie., the Qt library). You also have to enable/allow people to modify, rebuild and relink the LGPL bits into the program. Practically speaking, this means that you have to link to the LGPL stuff dynamically (using a DLL on Windows, or a shared library on Linux). That way, end users could rebuild Qt and replace the DLL if they're so inclined.
