[Interest] License regarding question

[Andy]

Back to Alexander's question...

Should he choose to contribute the fixes back, signing up for, setting up,
and working with gerritt is a PIA if you aren't using it frequently.

So I would suggest reporting the bug at https://bugreports.qt.io and
attaching the fixes - then at least it exists somewhere and can be
found/looked at/integrated by someone in the future.

Thanks Alexander!
