Adobe, IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, RealNetworks and Red Hat are all backing the new Linux standards effort led by the Free Standards Group. The nonprofit organisation plans to marshal their resources to form standards for key components of Linux desktop software, including libraries, application runtime and install time. The group said Monday that it will encourage software developers to use its guidelines when building programs for Linux as part of its Linux Standard Base project.

Besides you are rather confused with the "no strings attached" argument of yours, as it's the LGPL that has strings attached. Qt on the other hand has a no strings attached license.
Actually, you're the one who is rather confused. The LGPL attaches no "strings" to the user of an LGPL-library (yes I've read sections 5 and 6 of the license in question). Qt on the other hand has license strings attached to the usage of GPL-Qt and monetary strings for the other method of licensing.
