Distribution of Qt via `conda-forge`
-
There are already Qt packages for
conda-forge
i.e. https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/qt
I presume these are legal.
I have a need to develop for different versions of qt.
My plan is to have separate conda environments for each version of qt.
My problem is that one of the versions of qt I need to target is 5.2.1 for which there is not currently a conda package.
I am in the process of building adummypackage for qt-v5.2.1.
It does not install qt but rather searches to see it a version of qt is available and, if so, adds it to the environment.
The preferred conda way is to for the conda package to build and install the target software to avoid ABI incompatiblities.
Here is a thread discussing the points.

What I am looking for is advice on legally distributing Qt.
The git repo git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git only goes back to v5.3
Is there another git repo housing the v5.2 source? -

If you plan to use Qt under the (L)GPL license, then you just need to comply with the rules of the (L)GPL license.
The git repo git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git only goes back to v5.3
The old branches are gone, but the tags are definitely still there.
