Absolutely. FOSS users have, by definition, every right to modify the
source code. So yes, the current qt.io site is very misleading there.
They just don't have the right to publish closed source software based
on those modified sources without releasing those modifications to their
users (well, sort off. It is of course a bit more involved than that.)
