No no, it doesn't go like this...
If you're writing a commercial program with QT - then you'll have to buy the
commercial QT and work with it to create your application. There are 2
versions - one for Windows and one for most unices (Linux/BSD/Solaris etc..)
Now - regarding KDE - no one forces you to publish your KDE source code.
Thats how thekompany makes some products (like Kapital) which are completly
closed source code (proprietary), UNLESS - you're modifying the actual KDE
code itself... which means if you modify the source code - you'll have to
release patches...
Remember this - if your application is commercial (wether it's free for use
without source code or pay-ware) - you'll need to buy the QT itself..
There are some guys in the #kde channel on irc.openprojects.net who can help
you with the legal stuff...
