Thanks for the answer,
I still have a doubt about the tools, is it possible to use Creator and rcc Compiler with LGPL v3 license? -
Hi,
The license of Qt Creator itself is unrelated to the license of the libraries you use.

The LGPL applies to your created derivative work only - which is using LGPL libraries. The LGPL part of your application must be interchangeable, while your closed source part (can basically almost have any license you like). I am not a lawyer btw ;)

Ok, now I understand the concept,
what I would like to check is if QT Creator and
rcc Compiler are development tools for commercial license only or not.Thank you for your help.

@Isaach The open source licenses usually do not matter for tools. GCC for example is licensed under more restrictive GPL but can be used for open source and commercial (closed source) projects.
