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

A better list here
