Have you read all the text?

"""
Two qualities of the Qt Commercial License should be emphasized:

You need it before you start development of proprietary software.

You must purchase a Qt Commercial License from Trolltech or from any of
its authorized resellers before you start developing. The Commercial
license does not allow the incorporation of code developed with the Open
Source Edition of Qt into a proprietary product.
"""

There is a GPL version for Linux. But the GPL does not allow linking
with closed source software.
