Take a look at the license agreements for the Qt cross-platform programming library. To use it commercially you must by licensing from Digia (formerly Nokia and before that Trolltech) and non-commecial use can use what is provided by the Qt-Project.
Qt is used by literally hundreds of applications including some pretty big ones such as KDE. Having to pay for a commercial license on open-source software is not new.
Here is a question for you. Why should anyone write software and give it away for you to use for free?

Just because Im using an open source software does not mean I need to pay for it. I have been using Open Office for personal projects for the last couple of years without paying anything.
Android, CHROME, Eclipse, GIMP, TrueCrypt, Open Office, LWJGL, and hundreds of other popular open source projects are simply FREE.
Maybe you are implying that you are putting more works in TM than these other projects?!!
Here is the question for you, give me one example of a popular open source software, where I need to purchase license key for non-commercial personal use.
