Including Qt copyright notices in the binary releases, and include prominent iinks to the source, including exact revisions used for this particular binary. Might also need to host Qt source ourselves.

Since it is the act of distribution that triggers the relevant clauses of the LGPL, aside from possibly inclusion of a QT copyrigh notice, the fact that both on the github repo and at getmonero.org there are prominently displayed links to the source right next to the links to the binaries is sufficient to comply with the terms of the license.

@moneromooo-monero:

Including Qt copyright notices in the binary releases, and include prominent iinks to the source

You mean a text file or something in the GUI? Most qt based projects add an "about qt" page somewhere which includes the link to the official page and/or sources

including exact revisions used for this particular binary

This is done in #1239, it uses runtime qt, but should match the build time qt in static builds.

Might also need to host Qt source ourselves.

Not needed unless we modify those sources ourselves
