I have a question regarding the libraries, which were copied when i using CQTDeployer to deploy my application.

If I offer my application-bundle for download on the Internet (my application is GPL-v3 licensed), after i have deployed with CQTDeployer: The bundle then contains libraries from other manufacturers.
Am I infringing on the copyright of all these libraries, if I publish them together with my application, after i used CQtDeployer to deploy my appication?

Best regards.

@pgc062020 Sorry for my slow answer, but I was lost access to my github account.

Yes, all packages created with cqtdeployer do not violate the lgplv3 and gplv3 licenses, as they retain the ability to manually replace the qt libraries in the final distribution, but now there is 1 nuance cqtdeployer does not generate instructions for the user on how to do this, which is one of the requirements of the lgpl licenses and gpl.

But I will take this into account and prepare an option for generating such an instruction.

Best regards.
