Go ahead The main unresolved issue with AppImage as I see it is not being able to provide source code in a convenient way for the bits which are GPLed. The same is true to Snap and FlatPak as far as I can see. > 2) I want that application to look native under Plasma, hence I'd like > to bundle a Breeze built against the bunded Qt. Shouldn't be a problem. Breeze is a plugin of Qt and you can provide the full source code on request (even if Appimage doesn't give any convenient way to do so). It's not a derived work of your application just as when I install Skype on my laptop which uses Qt and it uses breeze that doesn't make Skype a derived work of breeze. Putting it inside an AppImage is mere aggregation just as any distro making a package of Skype and of breeze and putting it on an ISO is mere aggregation. In the case of the other thread he did want to reuse parts of Breeze code in custom widgets which would make it a derived work. That's not the case for your app. Jonathan
