> From February onward, everyone, including open-source Qt users, will require valid Qt accounts to download Qt binary packages. We changed this because we think that a Qt account lets you make the best use of our services and contribute to Qt as an open-source user.
It is quite annoying to get these thinly-veiled pseudo-reasons for forcing people to login to get the download. Surely they just want to know names and affiliations of who downloads their open source versions.
That's understandable from a business perspective, but then please don't put some bullshit there about needing to register at download time to do code reviews and contribution.
