A little (only for sake of correctness) note:

" if you change the sources to Qt you are requeired to release those changes"

changes to:

"if you change the sources of Qt _and you distribuite compiled sources
to other_, you are required to release those changes"


Basically, if you clone git repo of Qt and you do some modifications,
without giving any binary to others, the (L)GPL doesn't force you to
release patches for those changes.
