Open source and they obligations for personal use.
-
- I saw that, if I want use Qt with open source license, I need to do thing below
"Provide a re-linking mechanism for Qt libraries
Provide a license copy & explicitly acknowledge Qt use
Make a Qt source code copy available for customers
Accept that Qt source code modifications are non-proprietary
Make “open” consumer devices
Accept Digital Rights Management terms, please see the GPL FAQ
Take special consideration when attempting to enforce software patents FAQ"If I want to use it for my own personal, non-commercial use, without publishing anything, can i simply ignore staff like this and enjoy for free?
- The sentence
"The Qt framework is available under both open source and commercial licenses. This dual-licensing model is based on the principle of quid pro quo – roughly meaning “something for something.”
Simply put, this is how it works: In return for the value you receive from using Qt to create your application, you are expected to give back by contributing to Qt or buying Qt."
does it force me to publish?

As long as you dont violate (L)GPLv3, yes...
does it force me to publish?
No, feel free to contribute or just enjoy using Qt.
It's about the whole open source community not about every single individual :)Btw through posting this here you are already contributing in some way...
