I understand the lines are blurred between Qt Project and Qt Company with the

The Git repositories and this mailing list are Qt Project. Everything there is 
Open Source. Please don't add a binary tool that isn't Open Source, even if it 
is freely redistributable.

I understand, but I'm asking you not to.
