[Interest] Porting Qt app to windows

[Jason H]

Indeed. The GPL is "distribution"-focused. If you are doing it for your company (a fictitious person) then the creator and the user are the same and there is no "distribution"

As Diego mentioned, you're not affected then by the license.  The GPL is 
a "General Public License".  It applies to the general public.  In-house 
does not qualify as the general public, therefore, you don't need to do 
anything :-)
