Trolltech ==> charges Fee for using their QT library in your code.
This is partly correct. Trolltech charges fee only if yousell your code ( that uses Qt )
Absoluteky wrong. You CAN sell your code for a zillion dollars as long as it is gpld.
Not quite actually. Well, I am not disputing what can be done with GPLed code or what can't be done. I saying something different.
and not if you give away your code
Wrong again. You pay Trolltech for their non gpld library even if you gave away your non gpld app for free.
No again.
If I have understood things correctly, its as simple as this - You can use Qt for any non-commercial application. The moment you make money from the same code/app you have to pay Trolltech. Its pretty much mentioned in their licenses and FAQs [1][2][3].
