Not quite.

1. You can sell GPL-licensed software, and then you don't need to buy 
commercial licence. You can do whatever you want with GPL software as long as 
the license is maintained -- it doesn't place any restrictions on whether 
you're paid to do that or not.

2. You can only buy commercial license of Qt, there's no way I know of to do 
that with KDE. You can use KDE libs in your closed-source products, of 
course, because they are LGPL licensed, as opposed to GPL. For Qt, you need 
commercial license.
