Yes that is the page . http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/3rdparty.html <http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/3rdparty.html>  i mentioned and as i wrote this page does not contain
the Copyright (C) 2004, 2005 Daniel M. Duley 
so how should a customer know he needs to mention it?

Well i read it like this: 
Qt Commercial can be used „silently‟ to create products. No need to mention documentation.
So how is that silent if i need to add a lot of copyright notices which i also have to find myself by scanning the qtbase source code?
