    Wondering out loud why for all of these years the QtMqtt library must be manually built from source? Such a pervasive tech would be expected to be a part of the base libs (at least by me). Is there some weirdo licensing issue in play?

      @ThirdStrand The license of this module is GPL 3. I guess it is not free for commercial use.
      One reason is not so many people use it. Another reason is you can use MQTT without this module as well.
      I have MQTT in my app, but without Qt MQTT module.
      I guess ROS2 is getting more popular than MQTT now.

      Is it hard to build it?

        @JoeCFD Nah, stupid simple to build and install. Same GPL3 on Grpc/Protobuf as well.

          @ThirdStrand I see "Qt MQTT" in my installer (so under commercial license) for Qt 6 - it is under "Additional Libraries". So either it is missing from Open Souce installer (which would be weird) or maybe you are looking at Qt 5?
