I'd really like to see where Trolltech is making such a claim. And, let me
quote from their file, found in their codebase (OPENSOURCE-NOTICE.TXT)

<begin>
If you, your company or your organization derive
commercial benefit from Trolltech's products and do not wish to
release your complete source code, you are required to purchase the
appropriate number of commercial licenses.
<end>

Nothing here which says you can NOT commercially exploit the GPL
version of QT. Only if you wish to hold back the source, you need to
purchase appropriate commercial licenses from QT.

What's missing?

Best wishes,
