[Qt-interest] LGPL compliance poll

Hello all,

I know this has been discussed at length, and have read the discussion, 
and so don't want to bring out all the arguments again. I would simply 
like to poll those who have 'closed-source' commercial apps on the list to 
hear what they have done. I would especialy appreciate examples of what 
wording to use for attribution to Qt.

So, what wording do you include in your Qt-based LGPL 'closed-source' 
commercial program?

Thanks!

Josh

For reference: I'm going to sell a closed-source LGPL app to the general 
public based on Qt. I am going to dynamically link. I am going to 
redistribute Qt libs with my app. I will include a copy of the LGPL with 
my app, as well as a copyright notice for Qt in the app (wording?). I plan 
on referring users to nokia to download Qt as well as a notice that they 
may request the Qt source from me. Anything I've missed?

P.S. I know 'closed source' isn't a technically correct description, I 
simply mean that I'm not distributing the source of my LGPL app...
