Use our stuff for free and sell your application? That's Qt. Time to give something back

"Or stupidity to write an open source variant?"

How is that stupid? Maybe it's stupid if you also write a closed-source version and expect to sell it, but that wasn't the case here. So somehow it's stupid to decide that you would prefer to spend some time writing a new version and giving it to the community than to buy a license for the alternative? If you want the tool and you don't want to pay for a license, reimplement it.
