The MacPorts packaging lists 3 licenses governing Qt5, the LGPL v2 and v3, but also GPL3. Are you saying we shouldn't be listing the GPL3 license and that we can do so without "risk"? Can Qt Creator be redistributed uder the LGPL too? MacPorts has that one down as covered under the GPL3, which does make it incompatible with linking with OpenSSL. > AFAIK the primary (if not the only one) reason against linking to > libraries like OpenSSL is that redistribution of cryptographic software > is forbidden in some countries. Loading these libraries at runtime is You may well be right, because even when built for runtime openssl loading QtNetwork still includes OpenSSL headers during compilation. And I have a hunch that's enough for lawyers on the war path...
