How do I download the source for an old release (Qt 5.15.9-lts-lgpl release)?
-
I am QA engineer working for Keysight Technologies.
I am using the Synopsys Black Duck tool to scan a Keysight product and detect dependencies on Third-Party Open Source components.
I have detected several QT components (including. Qt 5.15.9-lts-lgpl release) that are GNU GPL and LGPL licensed.
This licensing requires that Keysight disclose the components and make the source of these components available to its customers.
I am attempting to find out where to get the appropriate versions of source code.
I have come across links like https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtquickcontrols2.git/tag/?h=v5.15.9-lts-lgpl
But I do not know how to use this knowledge to actually download the corresponding source.
Is there someone who could instruct me on how to do it?
Thanks in advance,

You could start here for complete source bundles (core and submodules): https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/5.15/
Are you sure that Keysight did not license Qt commercially? If they did then I expect the Qt Company would be forthcoming.

I would have also thought so.
And if they have, isn't all this not needed, since with a commercial license you don't have to publish/disclose the source code? -

@ChrisW67 Grazie Mille!
This is exactly what I was hoping to find!
