But there is more to it then that.   Ie how software developers should note your copyright, links back to the source OK? Or must we distribute it. Etc etc

In order of preference, we'd like:

1) that you release the sources

That doesn't mean they're the only available options to you. But we clearly prefer that you link dynamically. Then we have nice libQtCore.so or QtCore4.dll files around in your app :-)
