is an announcement for Qt 2.0 which is licensed under QPL. QPL is
DFSG-free in itself, though only through the deprecated patch clause.

QPL is still not compatible with GPL in the sense that it is legal
to take originally GPL'ed code and convert it to use Qt and
redistribute the converted code.

is the license for older versions of Qt. It is not DFSG-free. There
must be some link confusion at Troll that makes it possible to reach
the old license from the new announcement. The license statement that
is in the tarball is the new free one, though.
