Sorry but that shows a severe miss-understanding of the issue. Qt is only
free under restricted terms. I cannot for example use it in a final
year degree project without making it GPL (which might not be an option),
unless I pay money at which point it is not free.

Where as with a GPL'ed toolkit like gtk or Lesstif, I never have to pay
anyone money, I am FREE to anything I want with the toolkit. That's the
difference.
