I think Windows software using Qt ("non-commercial") can be
distributed under BSD or LGPL (or similar) license, but not under the
plain unmodified GPL. If GPL is a must, it's possible to add a clause
to the GPL which, I think, exempts the recipient of the software from
having to redistribute Qt source code with the application. Something
like that anyway.
