Mine certainly would be - I like C# and Qt, but there's no way I'm committing to a technology that *only* allows GPL delivery (ie not even a pay-your-way-out clause).
Ideally, I'd ask you to match Qt for non-GPL free software (it was already compatible with BSD code, for example, hence the good stuff in PC-BSD) but LGPL probably fixes it anyway. So would a linking exception, which is arguable cleaner as soon as you get any generics etc anyway. I *know* people like their GTK and I *know* the Mono team has done a pretty good job with WinForms, but I can't help thinking that Mono and Qt would be awesome.
