You're asserting your conclusion as your argument. This gets nowhere.
However, there's two points that might be interesting to discuss, if
you cared to discuss them.
(1) contributory infringement -- precedents and legal arguments.
(2) the GPL -- for example, try to explain how it can restrict binaries in
this case without also restricting source. [There are some restrictions
on binaries in the GPL which don't apply to sources: however, those
restrictions are not a problem with KDE+Qt.]
