- LGPL-3.0-onlyWeak copyleft: Changes to the library itself stay open; your own code need not.Weak copyleft: you may link Qt into closed-source software provided users can relink it against their own Qt build, a few modules such as Qt Virtual Keyboard and Qt Wayland Compositor are GPL-3.0-only, and a paid commercial licence removes both conditions.
