if that developer was Chani from KDE, they emailed TT and got the following reply:
“We are currently evaluating the impact that licensing Qt under GPLv3 (it
is currently GPLv2 only) would have for our dual licensing model. In
particular, the in-house development clause that is new in GPLv3 will
have some impact on our business model, or at least require a certain
amount of positioning (and thus preparation).”

So, like most I guess, TT are looking at what the ramifications are before any possible switch over (which is of course the diligent thing to do). Hopefully (well to me anyway, I know there are those who aren't exactly fans of GPL3) they make the switch in the not to distant future
