That is not strictly correct.  For example, if you set up a company to
develop free software, give it away and make money on selling support,
you can use Qt for free for developing that software.

(Someone's going to say that an application which uses a non-free
library cannot itself be free.  I disagree.  In my opinion the
relationship between an application and a library is a client-server
relationship.  An application does not incorporate a library, it
merely uses the library, just as it uses the kernel, the CPU and other
hardware, etc.)
