Hi Matthew,
Unless you are in the situation described by the person who originated this
email thread, I am rather sure you can continue using the GPL version of
Creator.
The whole point of this email thread was situations where the same development
project team (creating the same product) would like to mix commercially and
open-source licensed Qt frameworks or tools. This is not allowed, but also not
the most common case. Typically either commercial or open-source version of Qt
is used, which is the way indented.
Yours,
Tuukka

Wait, *WHAT?!* AFAIK, GPL imposes no restrictions on material created
*using* GPL'd software (with possible exceptions if such use results in
materials that incorporate parts of the software used, e.g. bison/flex).
That said, I wouldn't know what sorts of crazy provisions the Qt
commercial licensing may contain... IMHO though requiring licensees to
not use a particular IDE is pretty asinine.
