title: static linking Qt with open source version
body: <p>I'm developing an application with the Qt open source edition. As I don't want to deliver the Microsoft Visual Visual C(++) redistributables, I'd like to use a static-linked version of Qt. 
  The Qt licensing information <a href="http://qt.digia.com/Product/Licensing" rel="noreferrer">says</a> that I "should" develop with a commercial Qt license if I want to use static linking in my application, although when I use the <code>configure -static</code> command for building a static Qt library the command prompt asks me if I use the commercial or open source version of Qt.</p>
  
  <p>So it is possible to build Qt with the open source version? Do I need the commercial edition to use static linking? I won't sell the application.</p>
