No, the firewall and the whole establishment have the option to go out over the port 443. > It's not a fix at all. It's a workaround. Important difference! My whole point is that, let us leave the decision to the companies, if it is a workaround for them or fix. It is *them* deciding about *their* policies and approvals. The Qt Project should get as much support as possible from outside, especially now. Company policies and decisions are not the target of the Qt Project after all. It can just aid them as much as possible. Some companies will open ports up, some will not. The latter might give up the contribution to the Qt Project, and will implement their own internal solution on top of Qt (not in) without contributing back. That would be a pity...
