Hello Gentlemen(mostly gurus), i'm currently developing software for structural analysis and design (engineering stuff) and i've gone a long way into developing the software in java before realizing oracle's sneaky licensing agreements; and the software is enterprise - to be sold commercially.
now i'm thinking of converting over 3000 lines of code to Qt and C++ in order to avoid Oracle's future paycheck; but before then, i wana make sure i'm not wasting my precious time at that. so i'm asking if anyone understands oracle's licensing terms so much that they can shed more light on this topic. your help will be really appreciated Sirs!

I am going to be honest, your best bet is Reddit, this is beyond the typical crud app scenario NL is used to, the commercial aspect is tricky, I know Qt too has some form of license to it, the reason i mentioned Reddit is because there will be someone who went through what you did.

thanks sire, Qt does too, Qt clearly specifies the non GPL parts of its products unlike those guys at oracle.
i'll probably just go on with the migration for now, though java has been really amazing. thanks, i'll reach out to dudes on reddit too by God's Grace.
