So far we only provided commercial packages, which could be used for 
open source developers too, as we are in a preview state. As we are 
getting closer to a beta, this is about to change within the next 
preview release. Our daily snapshots are already using the opensource 
license. You can download them at:

As you already mentioned, Qt for Windows CE is currently in an unstable 
preview state. This implies, that we do not guarantee Qt/WinCE will work 
without any flaws in its current version. Production coding in that 
context means, that you cannot ship commercial products yet, which are 
based on Qt/WinCE due to previously mentioned reasons.
We simply want to assure that Qt/WinCE is stable enough before we want 
cool projects out there :)

Good luck for your project, and feel free to inform us about your 
progress as well as problems.


Best Regards,
