I disagree. The example program is a derivative of both the SDK library and the Qt library. Both libraries were written independently of each other. Therefore neither is a preexisting work with regards to the other in the meaning of 'derivative' under US copyright law. The consequence of the example being derivative of both is that you can't distribute it as part of the SDK distribution. You cannot simultaneously satisfy both licenses. So, either do as Alfred suggested and relicense the SDK under the GPL, or do not distribute the example at all.
