qtcreator dual-license

Now I want to make a app that will use some code in QtCreator(extensionsystem, and others) and i know the qtcreator is dual-license, but what i am not sure is that whether i can choose the LGPL freely.Or the choose of license is constrict by the app's purpose?

QtCreator is GPL, not LGPL. There are two exceptions stated to the GPL in the license file:

http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/LICENSE.GPL3-EXCEPT

yes, now the license is GPL, actually , I want to ask two questions:

if i can choose the license freely(as i wish)
is there a method to use the qtcreator code when make other codes(code that i write) privacy

Hi and welcome to devnet,

That's a question better asked to the Qt Company directly and/or to a lawyer.
