      The text of the "Qt Opensource Obligations" page in the Qt Creator-only offline installer is confusing.

      • You cannot install Qt from that installer, so what is that page doing there?
      • The page contains e.g. a sentence "You must not mix software, developed with the commercial license with the code developed with the Open Source license." This is just wrong if appied to Qt Creator: Users can develop commercial applications (also with commercial Qt) with opensource Qt Creator. They can even develop commercial Qt Creator plugins with opensource Qt Creator.
      • If users install a Qt to use with Qt Creator, they'll see the page there. If users do not use Qt, but Qt Creator, the "Qt Opensource Obligations" do not appy to them.

      All in all I think the page should not be shown in the Qt Creator-only offline installers at all, or at the very least be heavily reformulated.
