"Despite the head start that KDE enjoyed, the large number of KDE users and developers, and Linus Torvalds personally endorsing KDE, GNOME has won the desktop environment battle. The final victory came with the third piece of a corporate trifecta, giving GNOME the official nod from Red Hat, Sun Microsystems, and finally Novell. The question is, will the triumph of GNOME lead to the rise or downfall of the Linux desktop?" Run Forrest! Run!

This means that if you link that code against the GPL version of Qt included with a Linux distribution, then it becomes a GPL binary. The source code of the library itself obviously remains under the GPL, but the resulting binary is GPL.
Yes, this really is true. Instead of moderating me down, why doesn't someone provide me a link that states in plain black and white text that linking a LGPL *binary* to a GPL *binary* does not make both fall under the GPL.
