You are being extremely paranoid surly that is not the indetion of the
Qt "free" in forcing developers to use the GPL. Also they don't force
users to use necessary the GPL just something in the same spirit as it
as they say: "Users of your software can obtain source code for the
software, freely modify the source code (possibly with restrictions on
copyright notices, attributions and legal responsibility), and freely
redistribute original or modified versions of the software." When they
say under the GPL tsurly hey only mean for program using Qt and not Qt
itself.
