huh? The operative word in your statement is "apparently" - and I can assure you that your understanding is wrong, unless you have your own English grammar and semantics.
shall we avoid the personal comments? Anyway I may be a blind idiot - but I cannot find any wording anywhere on the website which says that QT itself is released under the GPL. All I can find is that the open source edition is released for developing GPL'ed software and that the same (open source edition) may be freely copied and distributed. I do *not* find any wording stating that the open source edition may be *modified* and distributed.
