Qt's trademark policy is unsurprisingly strict, and it seems well managed on 
top of that. A fork of Qt has to be make a clear distinction in its name, and 
"anything with Qt in it" will be as misleading as marketing your os as "The 
Windows Alternative".

A fork of Qt would need a new name and its own branding.
