Discover Qt Licensing
Whether you're developing a mobile application, an embedded device, or desktop software, Qt licensing comes with both commercial and open source options to choose from. The choice determines what terms you agree to adhere to. Make sure you choose the right license for your project from the start, marking that open source is a matter of liberty, not price.
Frequently Asked Questions

2) Switch the "Use external repository" to be active
