It's possible and fairly easy to do : just do ./configure -static when
building Qt.
The compiler will complain as long as you don't explicitely link with all
the required plug-ins.

NunoSantos : this is FUD. You just need to comply to the license, be it GPL
or commercial. The virtue of the code being GPL prevents artificial
restrictions such as these.

You can even ship proprietary apps linked statically with Qt, as Vik
mentioned, and sleep good at night.

Best,
Jean-Michaël
