[Interest] QtIFW and LGPL3

Hello List.

I know I can not get legal advice here of course. But I would love to
hear what you think about it :)

Case:
1.) Personal Tool built with Qt5 (5.10 ATM) Open Source LGPL3
2.) No Changes in the Qt Source Code by me
3.) Qt Installer Framework built with statically built Qt 5.10 with Open
Source License
4.) No changes to the Qt IFW Source Code by me

Questions are:
1.) Do I have to put the IFW Installer Scripts, *.ui Files etc. under
the LGPL3 License and make it public?
2.) Do I have to publish the (from my end unchanged) QtIFW Source Code too?

I already contacted Digia directly and asked them this and other
Questions. Also gave those and more Details. But the only answer after a
few weeks was: "Thanks for contacting us. Please tell us what License
you want to buy" etc. They seem to hate the Open Source Community as
they never answer anything but instead you get contacted by a Sales
Person. So they are not helpful at all. At least from my experience.

Thats why I am asking here.

Thanks!
Oliver
