It is not a problem if you own a commercial license.
And even in case of LGPL it this is not true.,
You could provide your object files, if you do not want to provide source code.
All point in restricting is to allow user to be able to update Qt to
newer version.

As for me I find this restriction stupid, cause even upgrading
compiler will result in fail to link the code.
But this should be discussed at <interest at qt-project.org> instead of
this forum, not here.
