    With QT 4.5 (LGPL) you are free to release your software the way you want: free, proprietary, open source or closed source software!

    The only time you NEED to provide the source code is when you modify QT itself. This way, you only need to provide the source code of the modified QT class (which is a good thing for the growing QT community)
