Well I hope you didn't use doxygen for your documentation when using

From Bernhard Lindner's exchange with Tuukka quoting the license (I

The critical phrase and source of much of this thread is using
OpenSource binaries and libraries with a commercial license. It's the
"use" word after the (i) in the first line of the quote that opened up
this can of worms.
The original question was if developers working on a project writing
non-Qt C++ code for some part of the project where other developers were
using licensed Qt could use the OpenSource QtCreator because they liked
the IDE. The resounding answer from Qt was no, everybody needs a license.
The broad based wording of the license also lead to these questions
which, as far as I've seen were never answered.

The lack of clear and concise answers to these questions is giving
credibility to the FUD claims.
