I have created a Qt application. Now I want to make an install package and release it (using LGPL).
Can I just add the qt-license.txt file to the installation directory? or I have to show the information in my application using "About Qt" QMessagebox or some other way?
Another question, What is it meant by "Make a Qt source code copy available for customer"?
Do I have to share the source code of my Qt Application?
If you release your application as LGPL, then I think the license says you must make your source code available. Do not use a license if you do not understand it and consult someone who can explain all of the terms to you.Quote:

You can use LGPL components (like Qt) in your application without releasing your application with the same license. You can make a commercial application and sell it even though it uses LGPL libraries. However, you do have to provide either the source code to the libraries or a link to a site where users can obtain the source code for them.
You cannot use GPL components in a commercial project or in a project where you do not release its source code.
Better don't give any advice, when not being sure - there is already too much misleading information out there.
IMHO a good source of information - including the tricky parts of the LGPL - has been given by Burkhard f.e; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwTlCBbB3RY
