OK, so according to Linus, the GPL allows a proprietary program to make calls to the kernel, but TrollTech says the GPL doesn't allow a proprietary program to make calls to the Qt library. It's this double-standard that I find confusing, since both projects are said to be based on the same license. I wouldn't have any problem if Qt had built its own GPL-derived, custom license, but they claim it's the same ol' GPL. Hence the questioning.
