You can always use KDE, KDevelop, Automake&Co. for developing commercial
software without restrictions.
But you cannot build parts of code of KDE, KDevelop and other GPL-based
in your commercial software.
But your commercial software can use LGPL-licenced code (the KDE
libraries (kdelibs)) as base libraries - means, your commercial
application can link against libkdelibs.so.

Kylix got a bad assessment in the famous German computer magazin 'ct.

You could use the Custom or Terminal project type provided by KDevelop's
project wizard.
