There are at least some car manufacturers paying for Qt that do not care at all about this issue.

On the other hand, I really doubt the open source community is responsible for a large chunk of the Qt company's income.

Sure, breaking the agreement would further hurt their image in the open source community, but I doubt it would have a large impact on the company's future.

I work for a car company using Qt. The open source community around Qt is a significant contributor to the talent pool we hire from (myself included), and it is also a regular contributor to (and indirectly/broadly, the inspiration for) integration-related Qt modules (e.g. QtWayland) we like. Its health is important.
