webkit-fancybrowser-jquery-qrc.html and webkit-fancybrowser-jquery-min-js.html 
contain a copy of the minified jquery. As the best of my knowledge, this are 
GFDL-NIV licensed (please correct me if I am wrong).

So shipping then minified should not be a problem for Qt, at least in the 
example's case. And also in the best of my knowledge.
