FYI, Trolltech just announced today that they're now licensing Qt
under the GPLv3. This is in addition to remaining under the licenses
it was under before.
See
http://trolltech.com/company/newsroom/announcements/press.2008-01-18.1601592972
for the announcement.
This is very welcome news for the large community of developers and
free software users.
Qt is used by a lot of projects, and those which want to combine QT
with other code licensed under the GPLv3 have been unable to before;
now they are compatible, opening the door to more work coming out
under the preferred license of some developers, or coming out at all.
That includes KDE, as a large example.
