No. (Not *your* source code, anyway. Consult a lawyer w.r.t. to your obligations to distribute *Qt's* source code.) > and am I missing out on features and/or the ability to sell my app on iOS or > Android? Possibly. The "issue" with LGPL as I understand it is that you are required to make it possible for users of your app to replace the Qt that you shipped with their own Qt (i.e. and have your app run using their Qt). Depending on how you distribute (e.g. do you use Play Store? Can users download and manually install packages?), this *MIGHT* be possible on Android, but my understanding is that it is *NOT* possible on iOS due to restrictions running your own software on the devices. Mind... IANAL. The above does not constitute legal advice. -- Matthew _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
