Yup, that's the correct story. For those who don't know what QT is, it's a set of programming libraries for drawing window objects: buttons, window frames, etc. TrollTech, the company that wrote QT, originally put it out under a software license that wasn't GPL compatible (source code wasn't open). So, the Gnome project started because of that. Since then, TrollTech has release the QT libs under another license that is GPL compatible (I think).
