I am not a lawyer and any opinion towards Licensing is my personal very
subjective opinion.
Questions I've had as well. It seems the only solution is to never buy a
commercial license, especially if you run KDE Neon as your primary
development desktop.
Just how does one know if library-xyz, written in pure C++ used
QtCreator OpenSource as the project IDE?
Is anyone working for Linus himself using QtCreator OpenSource as their
favorite IDE? If so, by that definition you cannot use commercial Qt on
Linux, any flavor.
I don't know if I trust this site, but . . .
https://awesomeopensource.com/projects/qt5
It claims to list 167 Open Source projects using Qt5. Some of them could
easily be part of one's development toolbox. I'm thinking of
Sqlitestudio
Slate
Notes
Screencloud - for taking screenshots under Windows, Mac, and Linux
Embedded Ide - bare-metal ARM systems
Slacken - lightweight Qt client for Slack
