That's because of the solid compression, It's somewhat anoying but taking out the SOLID flag makes it almost 7Mb bigger :)

I don't know, it does comes with the GPL'ed installer, but I don't know if they are subject to the same license. The Qt4 logo on the top also comes bundled within the source, but the left image from the welcome doesn't. That image I was thinking about using one from Kde-cygwin, or qt-win.

qt4.nsi and win32-msvc.nsh were all mine, I wouldn't mind if they were GPL'ed but the other files contains code taken from NSIS's Wiki with no explicit copyright terms on them, I would suppose they would be the same license as the project itself or public domain. They had only minor modifications made by myself, to adjust with the script.

The files I have created myself I don't care much about what license they get into, anything that would be compatible with the other files would be ok.

Should I make changes then submit again?
