(Doing it onlist, because others might also want to read the answer.
This is not legal advise for a specific case just a discussion of the general 
idea.)

In Debian this file seems to be part of qt4-x11 and thus under GNU LGPL 
2.1+Exception. In general for LGPL you are okay to just place the source
code you have been using (and other changes, scripts) just right beside
the binary. See the LGPL for details.

I haven't tried it on the phone itself, but from remote you can just use qdbus 
or even qdbusviewer, with the environment variable just like indicated on
