The commercial customers may also use Qt without fee - provided that they
release their software under the GPL (which they usually do not).
It would be a different matter if Qt's license prohibited *some* explicitly
named software vendors from using it without paying some license fees.
The problem with ckermit is probably that the said Unix vendors don't have to
link anything against it (unlike users of Qt, which is a library) and would
therefore have no real reason to buy a proprietary GPL-escape license.
