Why? The GPL expresses RMS's view of free software. It is a view shared
by many, but if you don't share it, that's fine. Use a license more to
your liking or write your own. Be careful, though. It's harder than it
looks.

"You are permitted to link this program or any deriviative thereof with
QT. In doing so you do not lose any of the rights granted you by the
GPL."
Or:
"Dynamic linking of this program or any derivative thereof to any library
no matter how licensed is permitted without loss of any of the rights
granted by the GPL."
