Compare 2nd line of the 2nd link with the 1st line of the 1st link:

a) "it is actually available under the terms of the GNU GPL."
    vs.
b) "If the Open Source Edition was licensed purely under the GNU GPL, there
would be problems."

Licensing is all about exact semantics. If you want to talk about
Trolltech's good intentions/motivation/contribution, I've got nothing to say
to that. But going by the information on their site, they are deliberately
keeping things ambiguous. Should be reason for *some* concern IMO.
