The company is now called Qt Group https://www.qt.io/company


I know Qt changed ownership (including being bought by Nokia). Qt Group for sure did not pioneer it as they didn't exist in the 90s. Not the same company as TrollTech.

Were they the first with dual licensing FOSS and proprietary though?

Seems like it, legally. I stand corrected.
