Unsolved ELI5 What is the user experience for installing games under LGPL?
-
If I have a game made in QT under LGPL that I want to keep proprietary...
-
Will players be able to do a one-click installation on Google Play?
-
On the iOS Store?
-
On Desktop, will players be able to run a single .exe avoiding have to manually download libraries?
Bonus question: If I build/release a software engine in QT that has statically-linked dlls, and that engine downloads proprietary config files, do I have to open-source the config files?

- They can but to comply with the LGPL you'll have to provide the object files for your project so they can re-link it to a Qt version of they choice. Since there are pretty good installer solutions, you should rather go the dynamic way.
