      If you don't have a commercial license you have to provide your installer framework changes if you publish the installer binaries.
      As far as I know the Qt Installer Framework is published under GPLv3, so you have to fulfill its requirements.

              @Nguyen-Thang-Phong Sorry, I don't understand what you're writing. You also did not answer to where you want to push the code.
              Are you modifying the code of the Qt Installer Framework? If so, you can't change its license! You can define the license for your own code though.

                The code of the installer framework is under the GPLv3. Any changes you do to the installer framework also need to be under the same license. However, any apps that are put into the installer can have any license. The GPL does not apply to the apps.
