Is this interpretation of Qt's license correct:

A developer may use the open-source edition of Qt to develop commercial software with licenseing fees, provided that the developer releases the product and source code under an open-source license compatible with the GPL..

This means that if the developer is willing to take the risk of having all product source code open, with the attendant possibility of a modified version of the developer's product being freely redistributed without code enforcing any licensing fees, then the developer may forego paying commercial license fees to Qt (and Riverbank, if the product is PyQt) and use the open-source version.
