I don't think they would sabotage a device in the field, but they would check my compliance with the LGPL in hopes they could hang me on it. Maybe, I've really no idea. Would hate to find out.

Great tip on the eFuse and an authentication method! Have you ever released a product built with Qt under the LGPL?

I can't imagine why anyone would want to do it other than to mess with me. However, as there is a competing product that could be a possibility.

Based on some quick research building CEF for the imx6 doesn't look trivial. Do you know of any devices (for sale) that do use Qt under the LGPL? Or in your experience does everyone get the commercial license?

Thanks so much for your answer. For an embedded device, what's a recommended way to make it so my users could change out their Qt libraries as required? From my inexperienced POV it sounds horrible - I'd have to create some kind of custom update for them, provide them the tools to build Qt, and probably something else I'm missing in my understanding of the LGPL.

Also I was hoping to use Qt5 if that makes a difference (QML seems nice..).
