Don't spread FUD. You don't have to pay for Qt if you distribute it
under GNU Public License. Even commercially. You can earn money for your
software and you have nothing to pay to Trolltech if this is GPL-ed
software. They can say anything, but it's GPL, they just can not impose
such restriction.

I think somebody at FSF should take closer look at statements that can
be found on Trolltech website -- they are misleading at least.
