Hi all.
As my personal experience with yocto and qt5 (and Qt Company) if you
make an UI application based on Qt5 you have to give the possibility of
reverse engineering of your application, due to Qt5 is LGPL.
So you are not mandatory to publish the code, but the system must be
open for reverse engineerig.
A final user can replace your qt5 libraries with its own qt5 libraries

Since the base image of Yocto has the Kernel license type as GPL, if
I include my UI Application binary in the Yocto Base image will I
need to expose my UI App source code?
No, the same applies to desktop GNU/Linux distributions. You can
develop, use and ship software with the license of your choice
(including proprietary), you don't extend GPL software or link with
it. Otherwise, only GPL compatible licenses would exist in the Linux
world.
The GPL FAQ address this kind of questions:
