The LGPLv2.1 or v3 require you to make the source code of those bits available to anyone who receives the binary. I don't know the exact internals of the IFW to say what is "linking", but to be on the safe side, I'd just make everything available, even the bits I wrote. The licence for those bits is whatever you want it to be, so long as it's compatible with the LGPL. You have to include the the Qt and IFW source code in the offer. Either put the sources in your website or keep a copy somewhere you can access in case one of your users asks in the next five years. > I already contacted Digia directly and asked them this and other > Questions.

So they are not helpful at all. At least from my experience. You don't ask licensing and legal compliance issues to them. You ask your own lawyers. They're the only ones qualified to give legal advice.
