No. There are many GPL compatible conditions. Any license the always
grants at least the GPL's permissions is GPL compatible. Here are
some examples:
1. "This work is public domain."
2. The new FreeBSD copying conditions (the one without the
advertisting restriction).
3. The LGPL
The problem with the QPL is that it attempts adds additional restrictions
beyond the GPL. For example, you have to also give Qt the right to
make proprietary derivative works, and the way in which modifications
can be distributed is also more restricted.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. For legal advice,
consult a lawyer.
